Chords for Shawn James – The Wanderer – Live at the Heartbreak House

_ _ _ _ _ _ Writing The Wanderer is actually pretty quick.
I kind of see it as an anthem of the lifestyle that I started living
after I started touring a bit more on the road.
And it just became kind of an anthemic song.
It's very simple and very straightforward.
And, you know, when I go I don't know when, I'll be coming back again,
leaving the past behind my stride, in this way I will abide,
pretty much sums up the whole song.
You know, because day to day, month to month,
sometimes I don't know where I'll be,
and then it's kind of a beautiful life, though, and I enjoy it.
So that's basically the premise of the whole song, The Wanderer. _ _
_ _ _ Well, in my time of dying
Don't want [Ab] nobody to mourn
_ All I want for you to do
Is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make up my [Em] dying
_ bed _ _
_ _ _ _ _ When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I go I don't know [Em] when
I'll be coming back again
Leaving the past behind my stride
In this way I will abide
They call me the _ _
[C] _ [Em] _ _ [G] wanderer
They call me the _
_ [Em] _ _ wanderer
They call me the _
[C] _ [Em] wanderer
You know I got to be a wanderer
_ _ I got to be a wanderer
I don't let these chains down, Lord
Keep me from getting to where I'm meant to go
When I feel [C] that dark come from [Em] within you
Lord, I got to be rambling on _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh, oh, _ _ oh, oh, oh, _ oh
They call me the _ _
[C] _ [Em] _ wanderer
They call me the _ _ _ _ wanderer
They call me the _ [C] wanderer
[Em] _ _ You know I got to be rambling on _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, oh, _ _ oh, oh, oh, oh
_ _ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
_ They call me the _ _
[C] _ [Em] wanderer
[G] They call me the _ _ _ wanderer
