My version I play, hope ya’ll like it! Fingerpicking, hybrid picking, strum it, or a mixture through the verse and chorus. NOTE: I put Cadd9/C to represent a hammer on from Cadd9 to C. x1003x to x1023x, hammer on the 2. I’ve done the same thing with E7/E, you’re going from E7 to E via hammer on. [Intro] Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x4) [Verse]
C                      G
Travellin’ through the graveyard

       Am               G4
With a suitcase full of sparks

       F                   G              C   G4
Honey, I'm just trying to find my way to you

C            G
Lit up every campfire

Am               G4
Found out in the dark

      F                G          C
Oh, I cut down all the cottonwoods
[Intro] Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x2) [Verse]
C                 G
Picked up all the arrowheads

    Am                    G4
Off buffalo trails of the Indians

    F        G               C       G4
The Oklahoma sky was cutting through

C                         G
Along the tracks with the runaway 

    Am                  G4
He just talks and talks and talks

       F                  G              C
Honey, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Chorus]
Cadd9/C      E7      Am         F
And I quit counting stars at night

    Cadd9            F        E7/E   E7
In the cold, by the satellite field

    Am     G       C             F
And I quit panning gold, digging holes

     C                  G              C 
Yeah, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Intro] Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x4) [Verse]
C             G
Swam across the Poncha

      Am           G4
Took a train to Cataloo

  C            G
I opened up my guitar case

   Am                 G4
And all the songs were blue

  C               G
I haunted all the alleys

       Am                 G4
Lord I drifted down the valleys

       F                  G              C
Honey, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Chorus]
Cadd9/C      E7      Am     F      
And I quit casting hooks, Off

    Cadd9              F        E7/E   E7
the California coast we held so dear

    Am     G        C                   F
And I quit flashing smiles, and running wild

      C                  G              C
Yeah, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Intro] Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x4) [Verse]
         C             G
Threw my bottle to the ocean

   Am             G4
She never wrote me back

       F               G                C    G4
All the countless days along the sea of blue

            C               G
Learned the language of the mocking bird

 Am              G4
She took and twisted all my words

       F                  G              C
Yeah, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Ending]
         E7               F
And I'll meet you in the graveyard

        F                   G      G7
With the winter trees and stars

           F            G                C
And we can open up this suitcase full of sparks
[Outro & Humming] Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (Fade Out)
