Start Jamming...
Lay down your weary [C]
[G] tomb, lay down, lay down the [Em] song you [D] strum,
And [G] rest yourself, meet the strength [Em] of strings.
[G]
No voice can
[D] hope [Cm] to [G] hum, caught by the sound [C] before [G] the dawn.
I knew the night [D] had gone, the morning breeze like a [G] bugle blew.
Against the [D] drums of dawn, lay down your [D] weary [C]
[G] tomb, lay down, lay down the song [Em]
you [D] strum,
And rest yourself, meet the strength of strings.
[C]
No voice can hope to hum.

[Am] [G]
[C]
Way out yonder where the road [F] disappears, [Am] I've been trying to get [G] to that place for [C] years.
But the longer I ride, day [F] after day,
[Am] that old road [G] keeps slipping [C]
away.
Lonely is the word that some [F] men use, [C] [Am] when they talk about [G] these [C] rambling blues.
You can curse your fate, and you can curse [F] the road, [Am] but you keep on rolling, [G] cause it's all [C] you know.
[F]
Been to the mountains, [Bb] and I've been [F] to the plain, [C] every place I've been, it [G] all looks [C] the same.
[F] If I ever stopped rolling, [Bb] what would [F] I be?
[C] Be a shipwrecked sailor [G] staring out [C] at the sea.

[Am] [G] [C]
keep your eye on the rope, your hands [F] on the wheel, [Am] don't think about tomorrow [G] or the way [C] you feel.
Just listen to the tires sing that [F] highway song.
[Am] It's a short time here [G] and a [C] long time gone.

Thank you.
