[Em] [A]
[D] [F#m] [Bm]
[Em] [A]
[D]
It's a long and dusty [Bm] road, a hot and heavy [Em] load,
[A] the folks I meet ain't [D] always kind.
Some are bad and some are good, some [G] have done the best [Em] they could, some [A] have tried to ease my trouble [D] in mind.
And [E] I can't [A] help but wonder [F#m] where I'm bound, where [Bm] I'm bound.
[Em] Can't help but [A] wonder where [D] I'm bound.
[Em] [A]
[D]
I've been wandering through this land,
[G] doing the [Bm] best I [Em] can, trying [A] to find what I was [D] meant to do.
And the people that I see look [B] as worried as [Em] can be, [A] and it looks like they are [D]
wondering too.
And [E] I can't help [A] but wonder [F#m] where I'm bound, where [Bm] I'm bound.
[Em] Can't [D] help but wonder where I'm bound.
[Em] [A]
[D] [A] [B] [Bm]
[Em] [A]
[D] Now I had a little girl one time, [G] she had lips like sherry [Em] wine, [A] and she loved me till my head went plumbing [D] sane.
But I was too blind to see, she [G] was drifting away [Em] from me, and my good [A] gal went off on a morning [D] train.
And [Em] I can't help [A] but wonder where [D] I'm [F#m] bound, where [Bm] I'm bound.
[Em] Can't help [A] but wonder where [D] I'm bound.
And I had a buddy back home, [G] but he [B] started out to [Em] roam, and [A] I hear he's out by Frisco [D] Bay.
And sometimes when I've had a few, his [G] old voice [B] comes a ringing [Em] through, and [A] I'm going out to see him some [D] old day.
And [E] I can't help [F#m] but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm [Bm] bound.
[Em] Can't help [A] but wonder where [D] I'm bound.
[Em] [A]
[D] Well if you [Bm] see me passing by, and you sit and you wonder [Em] why, and you [A] wish that you were [D] Ambler too,
nail [Bm] your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace them up and bar the [E] door, thank your [A] stars for the roof that's [D] over you.
And [Em] I can't [A] help but wonder [D] where I'm [F#m] bound, where [Bm] I'm bound.
[Em] Can't [A] help but wonder where [D] I'm bound.
