Introduction:

             C                                         C/B         C/A    C/G  
You've long been on the open road
                                F                                    C            C/G  
You've been sleepin in the rain
                        C            C/B                 C/A      C/G  
From the dirty words and muddy cells
             F                                                         G  
Your clothes are soiled and stained.
          C                      C/B                 C/A      C/G  
But the dirty words and muddy cells
             F                                    G  
Will soon be hid in shame
C                                         F                    C  
So only stop to    rest yourself
             F                                 G  
Till you'll go off again.
        C                                 F  
So take off your thirsty boots
          C                    F  
And stay for awhile
             C                    C/B            C/A  
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm                            G  
From a dusty mile
          C                            F  
And maybe I can make you laugh
C                            F  
Maybe I can try
                        C                 C/B            C/A  
I'm just lookin' for the evening
                     Dm              G                 C  
And the morning in your eyes.
C                            C/B         C/A              C/G  
But tell me of the ones you saw
        F                                         C         C/G  
As far as you could see
        C                                 C/B    C/A              C/G  
Across the plain from field to town
        F                                 G  
A  
          C              C/B         C/A         C/G  
And of the rusted prison gates
             F                              G  
That tumbled by degree
             C                                            F              C  
Like laughing children one by one
             F                                                 G  
They looked like you and me
        C                                 F  
So take off your thirsty boots
          C                    F  
And stay for awhile
             C                    C/B            C/A  
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm                            G  
From a dusty mile
          C                            F  
And maybe I can make you laugh
C                            F  
Maybe I can try
                        C                 C/B            C/A  
I'm just lookin' for the evening
                     Dm              G                 C  
And the morning in your eyes.
C                         C/B         C/A              C/G  
I know you are no stranger down
          F                                      C              C/G  
The crooked rainbow trails
             C                                 C/B      C/A                 C/G  
From dancing cliff-edged shattered sills
        F                                         G  
Of slender shackled jails
C                                    C/B      C/A            C/G  
But the voices drift up from below
                  F                                                 G  
As the walls they're being scaled
C                 G                 C  
All of this and more
             F                                            G  
Your song shall not be failed.
        C                                 F  
So take off your thirsty boots
          C                    F  
And stay for awhile
             C                    C/B            C/A  
Your feet are hot and weary
Dm                            G  
From a dusty mile
          C                            F  
And maybe I can make you laugh
C                            F  
Maybe I can try
                        C                 C/B            C/A  
I'm just lookin' for the evening
                     Dm              G                 C  
And the morning in your eyes.
