Tabbed by Tyler B. Christopher
After seeing the only tabs of the song and realizing that
they didn't match up at all, I decided to create one myself.
as a reference. It mainly shows Scott playing the 'jo, but
his part is the same as Seth's (go figure!). I have also painstakingly
placed the chords over the lyrics at the exact spot that they are played.
Hope you enjoy!

Harmonica Intro:
Mute those strings and start chucking!!!
1, 2, 3, 4! C - G - Em - F - Fm (x4)
Verse 1:
C B Hey man (yes) F Fm C Do you think we’ll ever get back home? B Well I (guess) F Fm C We choose our battles one by one. B How I need (rest) F Fm C One more day of travel on the road. B How we’ve been (blessed) F Fm Some times I don’t feel that way.
Chorus:
C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind, F Fm I’m walkin’ a different highway. C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind. F Fm I’m travelin’ a different line. C G Em Oh, nothing’s gonna change my mind. F Fm You’ll find what you need if you want it. C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind. F Fm I’ll find mine. Instrumental Break: C - B - F - Fm (x2) The way Seth does this part is by just strumming the chords
but putting a hard emphasis on each note of the chord. You
should be able to hear it behind the banjo.
Verse 2:
C B Brother (yes) F Fm I know I’m up and down. C B Please, try to (accept) F Fm C Apologies for the sadness that I’ve found. B The years we’ve (spent) F Fm C Nothing short of grateful for our trip. B And those we’ve (met) F Fm Nothing short of thankful.
Chorus:
C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind, F Fm I’m travelin’ a different highway. C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind. F Fm I’m walkin’ a different line. C G Em Oh, nothing’s gonna change my mind. F Fm You’ll find what you need if you want it. C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind. F Fm I’ll find mine.
Harmonica Break: C - G - Em - F - Fm (x2)
Bridge: B - Em - A - F# - G (x1 before the lyrics start)
B Em Boss man said work can wait; Put it off for another day A F# G I’m not listening tomorrow may not come B Em Lazy men find an easy way; Easy work for easy pay A F# G I’m not listening there ain’t no such a thing B Em Boss man said work can wait; Put if off for another day A F# G I’m not listening tomorrow may not come B Em Lazy men find an easy way; Easy work for easy pay A F# G F# F I’m not listening there ain’t no such a thing as that
Verse 3:
C BBBBBBBBBBB
Hey man (yoooooooooo)
F Fm Do you think they’re listening C B To a thing? (no no no) F Fm I wonder what’s on their mind. C B We all should (go) F Fm Break down the walls being built around us. C B We’ll make a (show) F Fm Make it for our sons and our daughters.
Chorus:
C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind, F Fm I’m walkin’ a different highway. C G Em Nothing’s gonna change my mind. F Fm I’m travelin’ a different line. C G Em Oh, nothing’s gonna change my mind.
