Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Key: F Difficulty: Novice Intro: Fmaj7 F4 Fmaj7 Verse 1: Fmaj7 It’s the same sad story, love and glory goin’ ’round and ’round F4 Fmaj7 It’s the same old cliché, a wanderer on his way, slippin’ from town to town Fmaj7 Some find peace here on the sweet streets, the sweet streets of home F4 Fmaj7 Where kindness falls and your heart calls for a permanent place of your own
Chorus: Bb Fmaj7 I’m a wayfarer, baby, I drift from town to town Fmaj7 When everyone’s asleep and the midnight bells sound Fmaj7 My wheels are hissin’ up the highway, spinning ’round and ’round Verse 2: Fmaj7 You start out slow in a sweet little bungalow, something two can call home F4 Fmaj7 Then rain comes fallin’, the blues come calling, and you’re left with a heart of stone Fmaj7 Some folks are inspired sitting by the fire, slippers tucked under the bed F4 Fmaj7 But when I go to sleep I can’t count sheep for the white lines in my head Chorus: Bb Fmaj7 I’m a wayfarer, baby, I roam from town to town Fmaj7 When everyone’s asleep and the midnight bells sound Fmaj7 My wheels are hissin’ up the highway, spinning ’round and ’round Bridge: Bb Fmaj7 Where are you now, where are you now? C# C Where are you now?
