Well, they call me the [B] desert child I was born out in the wild
Ain't never been lost to the southern cross [F#] With a heart [B] that runs a mile
While [E] the train awaits [B] arrival I'd learn to read the Bible
I remembered every word Just to [E] sing like a bird and whistle [F#] on [B] down the line
Oh my backbone, take me back home [G#m] Wherever you are, [F#] tell my [E] story
Though I don't [B] own my backbone
I'm a stone, _ _ _ [G#m] _
[F#] I'm a go east I'm [E] a go [B] west, I'm a come home
Well, the only road to find her From the tread underneath the tire
If the fox didn't howl, it'd save us now From [F#] the bit from the [B] highest fire
Our hair, it grew like fire Like Samson and Delilah
The rust and dirt from the [E] dust and dirt That we [F#] used to [B] barb the wire
Oh my backbone, [E] take [B] me back home [G#m] Wherever you are, [F#] tell my story
Though I don't [E] own _ my [B] backbone I'm a stone, [G#m]
I'm [G#] a go east I'm [E] a go west, I'm [B] a come home _
_ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ At [E] night the [B] words were spoken Will the circle be unbroken
And the voice rang high from the family choir And the moon, it played in time
And the [E] boxcar [B] disappeared With a wave from the engineer
And I always came [B] back for the coin on the track Cause it made me a millionaire
Oh my backbone, take me back home [G#m] Wherever you are, tell my story
Though [E] I don't [B] own my backbone _ I'm [G#m] a stone, [F#] I'm a go east [E] I'm a go west, [B] I'm a come home
_ [F#] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _
_ They call me the desert child I was born out in the wild
Ain't never been lost to the southern cross With the heart that runs a mile _ _ _ _ _
