[Verse 1]
D                      Bm
Travis McGee's still in Cedar Key

G                       Em      A7
That's what old John MacDonald said

D                      Bm
My rendezvous's so long overdue

     G                         Em         A7
With all of the things I've sung and I've read

F#m             Bm
  They still apply to me

F#m            G
 They all make sense in time
[Chorus]
            D        G D
But now I'm incommunicado

Bm           A             Em          A
Drivin' by myself down the road with a hole in it

D               G  D
Songs with no vibrato

Bm            A       D    Dsus D
Taking the long way home

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
           D                   Bm
Now on the day that John Wayne died

          G                Em       A
I found myself on the continental divide

        D                  Bm
Tell me where do I go from here

           G                       Em         A
Think I'll ride into Leadville and have a few beers

  F#m                      Bm
I think of "Red River" or "Liberty Valance"

        F#m                 G
Can't believe the old man's gone
[Chorus]
             D        G D
But now he's incommunicado

Bm             A         Em           A
Leaving such a hole in a world that believed

       D                 G D
That a life with such bravado

    Bm             A        D     Dsus  D
Was taking the right way home

[Verse 3]
          D                    Bm
So when I finished that last line

          G                     Em            A
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it

D               Bm  G          A           D
Never wastin' time, takin' the right way home

           D               Bm  G           A           D
I know I'm never wastin' time, findin' the right way home
[Chorus]
           D        G D
Still I am incommunicado

Bm          A         Em         A
Livin' next door to a leg with a pin in it

D                 G D
Life with such bravado

   Bm             A       D
Is taking the right way home
[Outro]
D
Tryin' to make it

Bm
Tryin' to fake it

G                 Em    A
Tryin' to take it home

D
Tryin' to make it

Bm
Trying to fake it

G                   Em      A
Tryin' to take it home.   I know I'm

D
Tryin' to make it

Bm
Sometimes I fake it

G         A7       D             A
Tryin' to take it home.  All I'm doin' is

D
Tryin' to make it

Bm
Tryin' to fake it

G         A7       D
Tryin' to take it home

            D        G D
But now I'm incommunicado...
D A7 D
