[C]
[Cm] You've long [G] been on [C] the open road, you've been sleeping in the rain.
[G] [Cm] From [C] dirty [Am] words and muddy [Cm] cells, [F] your clothes [C] are [G] soiled and stained.
[Cm] But the [C] dirty words and muddy cells [F] will soon [C] be hidden [G] shame.
[C] So only stop to rest yourself till [F] you [C] go off [G] again.
[C] So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while.
Your feet are hot and weary [Dm] from a [G] dusty mile.
[C] And maybe I [Cm] can make you [C] laugh, maybe I can try.
I'm just looking for the evening, [D] the [Cm]
morning [G] [C] in your eye.
[Cm] But tell [C] me [Am] of the ones [C] you saw [F] as far [C] as you could [G] see.
[Cm] Across [C] the plains from field to town, a-marching to [G] be free.
[Cm] And of [C] the [Am] rusted [C] prison gates [F] that tumble [C] [G] by degree, [C] like laughing children.
One by one, they [F] look [C] like you [G] and me.
So [C]
take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while.
Your feet are hot and weary [D]
from a dusty [G] mile.
[C] And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try.
I'm just looking for [G] the [C] evening, [D] the morning [G] in [C] your eye.
I know you are [Am] no stranger [C] down [F] the crooked [C] rainbow [G] trail.
[Cm] From [C] dancing cliff [Am] edge [C] shattered cells [F] of [C] slandered [G] shackled tails.
[Cm] Or the voices drift up [Am] [C] from below [F] as the [C] walls they're being [G] scaled.
[C] Yes, all of this [F] and
[C] more, this [F] song [C] shall not [G] be failed.
[C] So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while.
Your feet are hot and weary [D] [C] from a [G] dusty mile.
[C] And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try.
I'm just looking for [G] the evening, [D] the [Cm] morning [G] in [C] your eye.
