Arlo Guthrie 1996 (James Rider / album Mystic Journey) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlo_Guthrie Bm
              G               D
Just me and a friend roaming around 

        A                  Bm
Him a magician and I was a clown 

            G                      D
Playing the streets for a dollar a day 

                A                        Bm
Waiting for the right time and a sign to lead the way 

Bm               G                    D
Crossed over the border to a mystical land 

          A                          Bm
Sort of unexpected didn't quite understand 

             G                  D
On a razor's edge on a grain of sand 

          A                         Bm
Onward we wandered to the gates of oblivion 
Bm G D A Bm G D A Bm
Bm               G                  D
On a roll of the dice we headed out west 

          A                     Bm
Where the sage and  the spice attracted us 

             G                        D
Shadows fell down like a dark groping hand 

               A                           Bm
Saw the teeth of the wolves and the blood of the lambs 

Bm               G                    D
On a turn of the cards I lightened my load 

             A                        Bm
Throwing off fear for the weakness it holds 

              G                   D
On target and calm the vision was clear 

             A                           Bm
Beyond the mirage I took for granted was here 
break
Bm               G                 D
On a flip of the coins we rode the coast 

                   A                 Bm
Trying to make the most of every situation 

        G                 D
That we witnessed near at hand 

                  A                 Bm
On a drifter's crusade all over the land 

Bm                 G                          D
Could it be in the stars or in the passing of cars 

                  A                    Bm
At a table in the bar in a turn of the cards 

                    G                      D
In a change of your mind in the passing of time 

               A                   Bm
In a ribbon of rhyme just down the line 
break
Bm            G               D
Just me and a friend roaming around 

        A              Bm
Him a magician I was a clown 

            G                      D
