[C]
[Am] [C]
[Am] [C]
I am the drifter and I'm here tonight
But [F] if it's alright I'll stay [C] until the morning
Then I'm bound to journey, cause that's who I am
So [F] understand I might leave [C] without a warning
[G] Oh I [F] am, [C] I am the drifter
Well I've met surrounders who did me wrong
[F] I've written songs about the [C] way they hurt me
And I've helped some angels who felt betrayed
Cause I have made a choice to be unworthy
[G] Oh I [F] am, I [C] am the drifter
[F] There's a gypsy voice I hear
[C] Telling me [G] to move on
[Dm] Restless [F] feeling in my bones
[C] For I know it, I'm [G] a band gone
[C] I've seen the country from shore to shore
And [F] I've explored the deserts [C] and the mountains
The miles are high up there and it's everywhere
I'm [F] never scared of the miles that [C] I'm not counting
[G]
[F] Oh I am, [C] I am the drifter
There's
[F]
[C] [G]
[F] [C]
[Dm] a [Am] gypsy [F] voice I hear
[C] Telling me to [Em] move on
[C] [Dm] Restless [F]
feeling in my bones
[C] For I know it, I'm [G] a band gone
I [C] am the drifter and I'm here tonight
But if it's alright I'll stay until the morning
That I'm bound to travel, cause that's who I am
So [F] understand I [C] might leave without a warning
Oh [Em] I [Dm] [F] am, [C] I am the drifter
[G] Oh I, [Am] [F]
I [C] am the drifter
