[Verse]
     D                  G                  D
Last night as I slept I dreamed I met with Behan

                               G                  A
I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day

     D                              G              D
When questioned on his views on the crux of life's philosophies

   D                 G         A               D
He had but these few clear and simple words to say
[Chorus]
D                G   D                                G     A
I am going, I am going, Any which way the wind may be blowing

     D           G   D                   G           A     D
I am going, I am going, Where streams of whiskey are flowing
[Verse]
D                                     G               D
I have cursed, bled and sworn, Jumped bail and landed up in jail

D                                           G                A             
Life has often tried to stretch me, but the rope always went slack

D                              G              D
And now that I've a pile, I'll go down to the Chelsea

D                  G              A                 D
I'll walk in on my feet, but I'll leave there on my back
[Chorus]
D                G   D                                G     A
I am going, I am going, Any which way the wind may be blowing

     D           G   D                   G           A     D
I am going, I am going, Where streams of whiskey are flowing
[Instrumental] D D D G A D D D G D [Verse]
D                                      G            D   
Oh the words that he spoke, seemed the wisest of philosophies

D                                G                  A
There's nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear

D                                G                D
When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me

D                G             A                D  
I'll walk into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer
[Chorus]
D                G   D                                G     A
I am going, I am going, Any which way the wind may be blowing

     D           G   D                   G           A     D
I am going, I am going, Where streams of whiskey are flowing
[Outro] D D D G A D D D G D
