Start Jamming...
Oh man, have you room for a wanderer
[Ab] running from his checkered past?
No, I'm not your favorite son, I never even typed left.
You still cuss, stir, and pray for rain, [Db] stubborn as the [Ab] sun and twice as vain.
Think about all you have done before [Db] you tell me you ain't [Ab] wondering.
[Fm] Now you're away with the [Db] sun, come back [Ab] home.
What'd you think about me while I [Eb] was gone?
Oh [Fm] man, when I was on [Ab] your knees.
[Db] Didn't think I'd turn [Eb] out to [Ab] be like me.
Oh man, the world is strange, cut [Db] you up, mend you [Ab] back in.
Got you scarred, then a forgotten wound.
Oh [Db] man, I [Eb] got on [Ab] the barroom floor.
Well, you told me to tell when I was a child.
Lord, [Db] it made me wonder and made [Ab] me knew why.
I guess I had to be like you.
Well, there weren't no [Eb] war but [Ab] I made do.
Now [Fm] you're away with the sun, come [Ab] back home.
[Fm] What'd you think about me while I [Eb] was gone?
[Fm] Oh man, when I was [Ab] on your knees.
[Db] You might have known I'd turn [Eb] out to be like [Ab] me.
[Fm] [Ab]

[Fm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
Oh man, life rolls along.
I'm just trying to [Eb] reap what [Ab] you have sown.
You never wished me well on the night I left.
[Db] But in my eyes you saw [Ab] your son.
Now [Fm] you're away with the sun, come [Ab] back home.
What'd you think about [Db] me while [Eb] I was gone?
Oh [Fm] man, when I was on your [Ab] knees.
[Db] You should have known [Fm] I'd turn [Eb] out to be [Ab] like me.
[Db] You should have known I'd turn [Eb] out to be like [Ab] you.
Oh man, [Ab] life rolls along.
I'm just trying to reap what you have sown.
You never wished me well on the night I [Db] left.
[Ab]
