intro - G (tune guitar down a semitone)
G I went out walking through street paved with gold
C Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones of a
G City without a soul
G I went walking under an atomic sky, where the
C Ground won't turn and the rain it burns like the
G tears when I said goodbye
Em Yeah I went with (C) nothing
G Nothing but the thought of you
D I went wan- (Em) der -ing (C) (D) (G)
G I went riding down that old eight lane. I
C passed by a thousand signs
G looking for my own name
Em I went with (C) nothing but the thought
G You'd be there (D) too, looking for (Em) you (C) (D) (G)
C I went out there in
G Search of experience, to taste
Em and to touch (C) and to feel as much
G as a man can (D) before he repents (Em) (C) (D) (G)
Em Yeah I left with (C) nothing
G Nothing but the thought of you
D I went wan- (Em) der-ing (C) (D) (G) (C) (G) etc
Verse 2
I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it
I went out riding
Down that old eight lane etc
Verse 3
I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you
