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