Lonesome Road

Tom: G

Gm

[Verse 1]
G
I've always been a loner   and I'm always on my own
since I was a young boy    I would wonder far from home
     C
they find me on the highway     miles from anywhere
G
I love the open spaces   when no one else was there

[Chorus]
        D                            C
I'm go sailing on,  sailing on  I'm sailing on
                    G
down that lonesome road   me one my own

[Verse 2]
 G
Well I left the town of Tully   my belongings on my back
I headed west   I took myself   into the great outback
 C
sleeping in the open,  breathing in the air
   G
The world for me was far away   not a worry or a care

[Chorus]
        D                            C
I'm go sailing on,  sailing on  I'm sailing on
                    G
down that lonesome road    me one my own

[Bridge]
    D                                     G
Well goodbye   me myself and I       We're are your own
     D                                      G                           D
Well goodbye   me myself and I        We're so long gone    on that lonesome road

[Verse 3]
         G
When the finally put me in the ground    and I go to see the lord
there before the pearly gates   with all the rich and poor
   C
if I've been good, if I've been bad   or somewhere in between
         G
if it's all the same to you  I'd say    it's time for me to leave

[Chorus]
        D                                C
I'm go sailing on,  sailing on,     I'm sailing on
                    G
down that lonesome road    me one my own

[Outro]
     D                    C
Ahh sailing on,  yeah I'm sailing on
                    G      C D G
down that lonesome road
