Tom Waits – On The Road (Guitar)

C
I left New York

   F              C
In nineteen forty-nine

   G             C
To go across the country

          F          C
Without a dad-blamed dime

G  C           F          C
Montana in the cold, cold fall

G        C           F  G     C
Found my father in a gambling hall

F      C
Father father

G              C
Where have you been

     F               C
I've been out in the world

            G    C
Since I was only ten

F      C
Father father

G              C
Where have you been

     F               C
I've been out in the world

            G    C
Since I was only ten

      F           C
Don't worry about me

F        G      C
About to die of pleurisy

F
Cross the Mississippi

C
Cross the Tennessee

G
Cross the Niobrara

F               C
Home I'll never be

F
Home in old Medora

C
Home in ol' Truckee

G
Apalachicola

F               C
Home I'll never be

    F             C
For better or for worse

   G         C
Or thick and thin

F          C              G      F C
Like being married to the little woman

F      C
God he loves me

       G    C
Like I love him

  F           C
I want you to do

         G        C
Just the same for him

F       C
Well the worms eat away

        F    G          C
But the worrywarts will win

     F         C
So I left Montana

      G           C
On an old freight train

    F        C
The night my father died

       F     G    C
In the cold, cold rain

F
