[Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
Well, I'm just a lonely traveler [Db] and I don't know [Ab] where I'm bound
Oh, but if I keep on moving [Db] then I know that [Eb] I'll be [Ab] found
I'll climb high atop my [Db] coffee, who holds [Ab] the crown?
But until that [Db] day, [Eb] keep on [Ab] wandering
Well, [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Fm] [Ab]
now in this world of wonders [Db] there are things a [Ab] man must see
There are trials he must know and [Db] there are [Ab] troubles he [Eb] must meet
[Ab] He must stare in the eyes of evil [Db] and know that [Ab] he is free
Till the good [Db] Lord calls, [Eb] keep on [Ab] wandering
Now, [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
my father was a traveler and [Db] my mama stayed [Ab] at home
And she cried the day that he walked [Db] out and [Eb] left us on our own
[Ab] Now I'm older than he was when [Db] I was born
And [Ab] I don't know which way [Db] is home, [Eb] so I'm [Ab] wandering
Yes, [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]
oh Lord, I've seen your oceans, [Db] I've [Ab] seen your mountains high
I've been lost inside your cities, [Db] I have seen the [Ab]
undecide
Yeah, I know the troubles [Db] that plague a [Ab] troubled mind
But they can't catch [Db] me, [Ab] I'm a-wandering
No, they can't [Db] catch [Ab] me, I'm a-wandering
No, they can't catch me, I'm a-wandering
