Key: A
Introduction:
G
June fell for Johnny on the fourth of July
As the fireworks popped in the summer sky
Am
With a spark in her eye she just sat there and stared
C D
As his face lit up to the rockets red glare
G
And by September she had asked him for a wedding band
How could she know he was a ramblin' man
Am
He walked out the door in the dead of the night
C D
And a sleepy voice whispered, as he turned out the light
G Am
She said: Where you gonna go, what you gonna do when you get there?
D G Am- D7
Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
G C Am
Oh you're never gonna find someone who loves you like I do.
D G
If you get tired of runnin' you can turn around and walk back to me.
G
He called her up to say he missed her a lot
The Texas pan-handle was as far as he got
Am
He'd run outta money, he'd run outta luck
C D
He'd run outta gas in his pick-up truck
G
Hitch a ride catch a train or a greyhound bus
'Cause there's a baby on the way and that makes three of us
Am
And I need you here beside me I can't go it alone
C D
She told him one more time as she hung up the phone
G Am
Sayin': Where you gonna go, what you gonna do when you get there?
D G Am- D7
Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
G C Am
You know you're never gonna find someone who loves you like I do.
D G
When you get tired of runnin' you can turn around and walk back to me.
Bm C
The years just seemed to roll on by them
G D
She missed him more and more every day
Bm G
That boy grew up to look and act just like him
Am D
And she knew someday soon he'd be old enough to fly away (And she'd say)
Chorus: ((( RHYTHM GUITAR ONLY )))
G Am
Baby where you gonna go, what you gonna do when you get there?
D G((( Am- D7
Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
G C Am
You know you're never gonna find someone who loves you like I do.
D G
When you get tired of runnin' you can turn around and walk back to me.
C D G
If you ever get tired of runnin'... turn around and walk back to me.
