Tom: G

G                                  C            G
There's a town down the road where I ain't been before.
C                                        D
Nobody knows my name or what I'm lookin' for.
G                                             C                   G
Maybe things will be a little different cause they can't stay the same.
C                                     D               G
I'm gonna ease on down the road where nobody knows my name.

G                                  C            G
I've got to keep the dust a movin' up around my heels.
C                                                     D
There might be a change for me just over that distant field.
G                                C                       G
Even when the past comes callin' lookin' for somebody to blame.
C                                     D               G
I'll be easin' on down the road where nobody knows my name.

C                                                        G
When the burnin' sun surrenders, will she still remember me?
C                                          A               D
I never told her I was goin' out where the wind is blowin' free.

G                                 C                       G
If she thinks about me tonight, I know, he won't miss the pain.
C                                           D               G
Cause I'll be takin' it down the road where nobody knows my name.

C                                                        G

C                                          A               D
I never told her I was goin' out where the wind is blowin' free.

G                                 C                       G

C                                           D               G
Cause I'll be takin' it down the road where nobody knows my name.
