I've always been a loner  and I'm always on my own

Verse 2:
 G+G
Well I left the town of Tully  my belongings on my back
I headed west  I took myself  into the great outback

The world for me was far away  not a worry or a care

Chorus:
    D MajorD              C majorC

When the finally put me in the ground  and I go to see the lord
there before the pearly gates  with all the rich and poor
