Well, I've [Am] been the wild, [G] wild driver, [A] sailed all over [Em] the sea.
But this [G] thing that makes [F] me [Em] wonder, [Dm] is [C] [G] made of gold I'm afraid.
[A] For it took me from [G] my childhood, [A] underneath the [Em] stardust clouds.
[A] And I hear [G] the wind [F] whistling [Em] through the [Dm] wildwood, [C] whispering [G] goodbye.
And [Am] it's home, my [B] town.
