[A]
Well, [D] I'm the drifter, I walk the highways, [G] I cross the river,
[A] the road's unforgotten,
[D] I sing for the [A] living, live for the trying, but [G] what's it about if you've [A] got to be trying [D]
alone?
[A] And [D] I'm the dreamer [D] who climbed the mountain, I [G] saw forever [A] across the ocean,
but [D] you found me waiting, and you knew [A] that I would [D]
[G] be lost forever, [A] I kept on trying [D] alone.

sing for the living, but if Zide was dying, but [G] what's it about [A] if you've got to be trying [D] alone?
Well, I'm the drifter who sought the answer, and when I found you, [A] I knew forever [D] would be forever,
and not for [A]
[D] sometimes, and you'd be mine, [A] won't have to be trying [D] alone.
Now I sing like a dreamer, and I walk like I'm flying, I [G] looked in your eyes, there [A] was no use denying [C#m] you [D] cared for that moment,
[D] and I knew the answer, [G] I came for a while, [A] and I stayed for the [Bm] rest of [D] my life.

Well, I was the drifter, and I walked the highways, [G] I crossed every river, [A] the road's unforgotten,
[D] I sang for the bitten, and lived for the trying, [G] I came for a while, [A] and I stayed for the rest of [D]
my life.
