You've long been [G#m] on the [B] open road, [E] sleeping [B] in the [F#]
rain.
[B] From dirty [F#] words and [B] muddy cells, [E] your clothes are [F#] smeared and stained.
[B] But the [F#] dirty [G#m] words and [B] muddy cells will soon be [F#] judged insane.
[B] So only stop [E] to rest [B] yourself, [E] till you are [F#] off again.
And [A#] [D#m] [B]
take off [G#m] your thirsty boots [B] and stay for a [E] while.
[B] Your feet are hot and weary [C#m]
from a [F#] dusty mile.
[B] And maybe I can [G#m] make you [B] laugh, maybe I can [E] try.
I'm [B] just looking for [F#] the evening, [C#m] the [F#] morning in your [B]
eyes.
[E] [B]
[E] [C#] [B] But tell [F#] me of the ones [B] you saw [E] as [B] far as you could [F#] see.
[B] Across the [F#] plains from field [B] to town, [E] a-marching [F#] to be free.
[B] And [D#m] of the rusted [E] prison [B] gates [E] that tumble [F#] by decree.
[B] Like laughing children, [E] one by [B] one, [E] they look like [F#] you and me.
[B] So take off [E] your thirsty boots [B] and stay for [E] a while.
[B] Your feet are hot and weary [C#m] from a [F#] dusty mile.
[B] And maybe I can [E]
make you laugh, [B] maybe I can [E]
try.
I'm [B] just looking for [F#] the [B] evening, [C#m] the [F#]
morning in [B] your eyes.

[B] For the [D#m] voices drift [F#] up from below [E] as the walls are [F#] being scaled.
[B] Yes, all of this [E] and more, [B] my friends, [E] your song shall [F#] not be failed.
