G
Bm
You've been long and on the open road,
Am
D
You?ve been sleepin? in the rain.
G
Em
From the dirty words and muddy cells,
Am
D
Your clothes are smeared and stained.
G
Em
But the dirty words and muddy cells,
Am
D
Will soon be judged insane.
G
C
So only stop and rest yourself,
Am
D
?Til you are off again.
G
C
And, take off your thirsty boots,
G
C
And stay for awhile.
G
Em
Your feet are hot and weary,
Am
D
From a dusty mile.
G
C
And maybe I can make you laugh,
Am
D
And maybe I can try.
G
Em
Just looking for the evening,
C
D
G
And the mornin? in your eye.
REFRAIN:(Acoustic lead over)
G
Bm
Then tell me of the ones you saw,
Am
D
As far as you could see.
G
Em
Across the plains from field to town,
Am
D
Marching to be free.
G
Bm
And of the rusty prison gates,
Am
D
That tumble by degree,
G
C
Like laughing children, one by one,
Am
D
Who look like you and me.
G
C
Then, take off your thirsty boots,
G
C
And stay for awhile.
G
Em
Your feet are hot and weary,
Am
D
From a dusty mile.
G
C
And maybe I can make you laugh,
Am
D
And maybe I can try.
G
Em
Just looking for the evening,
Am
D
G
And the mornin? in your eye.
Instrumental:(Acoustic lead, piano and harmonica over)
G
Bm
I know that you?re no stranger,
Am
D
Down the crooked rainbow trail.
G
Em
From dancing cliffheads, shattered sills,
Am
D
Of slandered shackled jails.
G
Bm
But the voices drift up from below,
Am
D
As his walls are being scaled.
G
And all of this,
Em
And more my friend,
Am
D
Your song shall not be failed.
G
Em
Then, take off your thirsty boots,
Am
D
And stay for awhile.
G
Em
Your feet are hot and weary,
Am
D
From a dusty mile.
G
C
And maybe I can make you laugh,
Am
D
And maybe I can try.
G
Em
Just looking for the evening,
Am
D
G
And the mornin? in your eye.
