[F#]
I went out walking through streets paved with gold,
[B] Lifted some stones, saw the skin and [F#] bones of a city without a soul.
I went out walking under an atomic sky,
Where the [B] ground won't turn and the rain it [F#] burns like the tears when I said goodbye.
[D#m] Yeah, I went [B] with nothing,
[F#] nothing but the thought of you.
[C#] I [D#m] went wandering, [B]
[F#]
I went drifting through the capitals of tin,
[B] Where men can't walk or freely talk [F#] and sons turn their fathers in.
I stopped outside a church house where the citizens like to sit.
[B] They say they want the kingdom [F#] but they don't want God in it.
I went out riding down that old lane,
I [B] passed by a thousand [F#] signs looking for my own name.
[D#m] I went [B] with nothing but [F#] the thought you'd be there too, looking [D#m] for me.
[B] [F#]
I went out there in search of experience,
To [D#m] taste and to touch [B] and to feel as much [F#] as a man can [C#] before he repents.
[D#m] [B] [F#]
I went out searching, looking for one good man,
[B] A spirit who would not bend or [F#] break, who would sit at his father's right hand.
I went out walking with the Bible and the gun,
The [B] word of God lay heavy on my heart, [F#] I was sure I was the one.
Now Jesus, don't you wait up, Jesus I'll be home soon.
[B] Yeah, I went out for the papers,
[F#] told her I'd be back by noon.
[D#m] Yeah, I left [B] with nothing [F#] but the thought you'd be there too, [C#] looking [D#m] for you.
