[Verse 1]
G
I went out walking through streets paved with gold

C
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones

     G
of a city without a soul

G
I went out walking under an atomic sky,

          C
where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns

         G
like the tears when I said goodbye

Em                C
Yeah, I went with nothing...

G                          D
Nothing but the thought of you

       Em         C   D   G
I went wandering
[Verse 2]
G
I went drifting through the capitals of tin,

      C
where men can't walk or freely talk,

G
I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit.

     C
They say they want the kingdom

         G
But they don't want God in it

G
I went out riding down that old eight-lane.

  C
I passed by a thousand signs

G
looking for my own name

Em          C
I went with nothing...but the

I went out there in

G
search of experience:

   Em                 C
to taste and to touch and to feel as much

G            D                 Em    C    D    G
As a man can before he repents
[Verse 3]
G
I went out searching, looking for one good man

  C
A spirit who would not bend or break,

          G
who would sit at his father's right hand

G
I went out walking with a bible and a gun.

    C
The word of God lay heavy on my heart

      G
I was sure I was the one.
[Verse 4]
G
Now Jesus, don't you wait up, Jesus I'll be home soon

      C
Yeah, I went out for the papers,

G
told her I'd be back by noon.

Em                C
Yeah, I left with nothing...

        G                      D
