[Verse 1]
         Fmaj7
It's the same sad story, love and glory goin' 'round and 'round
         F4                                       Fmaj7
It's the same old cliché, a wanderer on his way, slippin' from town to town
Fmaj7
Some find peace here on the sweet streets, the sweet streets of home
      F4                                        Fmaj7
Where kindness falls and your heart calls for a permanent place of your own


[Chorus]
     Bb                            Fmaj7
I'm a wayfarer, baby, I drift from town to town
     Fmaj7
When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound
                                               Fmaj7
My wheels are hissin' up the highway, spinning 'round and 'round


[Verse 2]
    Fmaj7
You start out slow in a sweet little bungalow, something two can call home
     F4                                                    Fmaj7
Then rain comes fallin', the blues come calling, and you're left with a heart of stone
     Fmaj7
Some folks are inspired sitting by the fire, slippers tucked under the bed
         F4                                        Fmaj7
But when I go to sleep I can't count sheep for the white lines in my head


[Chorus]
      Bb                          Fmaj7
I'm a wayfarer, baby, I roam from town to town
     Fmaj7
When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound
                                               Fmaj7
My wheels are hissin' up the highway, spinning 'round and 'round


[Bridge]
Bb                 Fmaj7
Where are you now, where are you now?
C#              C
Where are you now?

[Solo]

[Chorus]
      Bb                          Fmaj7
I'm a wayfarer, baby, I roam from town to town
     Fmaj7
When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound
                                               Fmaj7
My wheels are hissin' up the highway, spinning 'round and 'round


[Outro]
      Bb
I'm a wayfarer, baby
      Fmaj7
I'm a wayfarer, baby
      Bb
I'm a wayfarer, baby (Wayfarer, baby)
      Fmaj7
I'm a wayfarer, baby (Wayfarer, baby)
      Bb
I'm a wayfarer, baby (Wayfarer, baby)
      Fmaj7
I'm a wayfarer, baby (Wayfarer, baby)
      Bb
I'm a wayfarer, baby (Wayfarer, baby)
      Fmaj7                             Bb
I'm a wayfarer, baby (Wayfarer, baby)
