This song is pretty hard to find, but it is a magnificent piece of work. So simplistic, so deep and moving. -MRG Not sure if most of the words are correct. Kind of hard to decipher since it was a live performance. EADGBE Tuning G C Am Dsus2 x2 Verse 1:
G                    C                    Am                Dsus
Sometimes I feel so aimless If I’ve been shameless in my pride

           G                        C              Am               Dsus
That my soul showed.  That I could go on.  Live without you in my life.
Chorus:
C                  Dsus2
All the roads I’ve traveled

       G                 Em
All the mountains I put behind

       C              Dsus2                   G
But still I can’t seem to get you off of my mind

          C              Dsus2       G          Em
And after all the years, baby, the worry and lies

       C                   Dsus2             G
And still you’re smile can take me by surprise.
G F C G G F C G Verse 2:
G               C                     Am               Dsus2
Time rose past its slumber, but still I wonder what went wrong.

            G             C                 Am         Dsus2
Did I loose you, or did I trade you for a moment or a song
Bridge:
Em                   Am             Dsus               C       G
Ohhh to be here like we once were, like we never will again

Em                  Am           Dsus2
Ohhh. To be sent home used to please me

           C                    G  F  C
Was enough just to be your friend
Chorus:
C                  Dsus2
All the roads I’ve traveled

All the mountains I put behind

       C              Dsus2                   G
But still I can’t seem to get you off of my mind

And after all the years, the pain, the worry and lies

       C                    Dsus2          C
And still you’re smile can take me by surprise.

       C                    Dsus2          C         Am       G
And still you’re smile can take me by surprise.
