[Verse]
Am7 C G F Well, I met him in Minnesota. He was dark and overcast, Am7 C with long grey hair and eyes that stared G through me like I was glass. F Am7 I asked, "Where are you going to?" G F He said, "I'm the wind, I'm just blowin' through". Am7 C G* Then he lit up a cigarette and began to talk: Am7 C "See the doctors told me that my body won't hold me, G F my lungs are turning black. Am7 C Been Lucky Strike's fool since I was at school, G now there ain't no turning back. F Am7 G F They can't tell me how long I've got, maybe months, but maybe not. Am7 C G So I'm taking this bike and riding to New York.
[Chorus]
Dm Am7 G 'Cause I wanna see my grand-daughter one last time Dm Am7 Want to hold her close and feel her tiny C G Heartbeat next to mine Dm Am7 Wanna see my son and the man he's become C G Tell him I'm sorry for the things I've done F Am7 G And I'd do it if I had to walk F G Am7 Oh, I'm taking this bike and riding to New York Fmaj7 Am7 G5 Fmaj7 e|-------------0-------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------1-----------1--------1-1h3-----3---1--------1p0---------------------| G|-0h2-------2------------0-----------0--------0h2-------2p0-0---------------| D|-----3-------3-----2------2-------0--------------3-------------------------| A|----------------0-----0----------------------------------------------------| E|-1-------1--------------------3-------3------1-----------------------------| Am7 C G5 e|---------0h3-----3p0-------------------------0-----------------------------| B|---------------------------1-----1h3---3-------3-------3-1p0---------------| G|-------0-------0-------0-----0-------------0-------0---------2p0-----------| D|-----2-------2-------2---2-----2-----0-------0-------0---------------------| A|-0-------0-------3---------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------3-------3-------3-------------------------| Fmaj7 Am7 G5 Fmaj7 e|---------3p0---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------1-------1---------------1-1h3-----3---1---------1-------1-------1---| G|-0h2-----------------------0-----------0---------0h2-------2-------2-------| D|-----3-------3-------2-------2-------0---------------3-------3-------3-----| A|-----------------0-------0-------------------------------------------------| E|-1-------1-----------------------3-------3-------1-------1-------1---------|
[Verse]
Am7 C G F Through the forests of Wisconsin, that I knew as a boy Am7 C G Past the skyline of Chicago, 'round the lakes of Illinois F Am7 I lay my head in a motel bed G F When my back get sore and my eyes turn red Am7 C G And listen to the trucks roll past my door Am7 C G Am7 Through the fields of Ohio as the sunshine paints them gold Am7 C G I'll run just like a river runs, rapid, quick and cold F Am7 G F Fly through Pennsylvania and the Jersey turn-pike tolls Am7 C G I won't stop 'til I get to New York
[Chorus]
Dm Am7 G 'Cause I wanna see my grand-son one last time Dm Am7 C G Wanna see his eyes sparkling and stare back into mine Dm Am7 Now my time is short, I wanna see my daughter C G Tell her I'm sorry for the things I taught her F Am7 G And I'd do it if I had to walk F G Am7 Oh, I'm taking this bike and I'm riding to New York Fmaj7 Am7 G5 Fmaj7 e|-------------0-------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------1-----------1--------1-1h3-----3---1--------1p0---------------------| G|-0h2-------2------------0-----------0--------0h2-------2p0-0---------------| D|-----3-------3-----2------2-------0--------------3-------------------------| A|----------------0-----0----------------------------------------------------| E|-1-------1--------------------3-------3------1-----------------------------| Am7 C G5 e|---------0h3-----3p0-------------------------0-----------------------------| B|---------------------------1-----1h3---3-------3-------3-1p0---------------| G|-------0-------0-------0-----0-------------0-------0---------2p0-----------| D|-----2-------2-------2---2-----2-----0-------0-------0---------------------| A|-0-------0-------3---------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------3-------3-------3-------------------------| Fmaj7 Am7 G5 Fmaj7 e|---------3p0---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------1-------1---------------1-1h3-----3---1---------1-------1-------1---| G|-0h2-----------------------0-----------0---------0h2-------2-------2-------| D|-----3-------3-------2-------2-------0---------------3-------3-------3-----| A|-----------------0-------0-------------------------------------------------| E|-1-------1-----------------------3-------3-------1-------1-------1---------|
[Verse]
Dm Am7 G And I'd go up to the churchyard one last time Dm Am7 Lay flowers down for the woman who gave me C G The best years of my life F Am7 G And I'd do it if I had to walk F Am7 G Yeah, I'd do it if I had to walk F G Am7 I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
