Introdução:

C                                                      G  
Travelling across the country
                                                             C  
Playing on the circuit line
                                                  Am  
Sometimes I think about a man
                     D7                                 G7  
Who was here before my time
F                                              C  
Named for the 28th president
                  F                                                      G  
With a Guthrie tacked to the end
                     C              G  
Born in Okemah shoes
                        Bb                    F  
With the Dust Bowl blues
                  G                                                      C  
He's a friend of the working man
                                                          G  
Now he wasn't fond of New York buildings
                                                                C  
That tried to touch the sky
                                                        Am  
Or the West Virginia coal mines
             D7                            G7  
That took so many lives
                     F                                                                    C  
For the way they drove the migrant workers
             F                            G  
Back into Mexico way
          C                              G  
The scabs they'd run
                                Bb                      F  
When they'd heard he'd come
                     G                                            C  
And the bosses started to pray
                  F                              G  
Just a boy from Oklahoma
                C                                            Am  
On an endless one-night stand
F                                      G  
Wandering and a-rambling
C                                                                    Am  
Drifting with the midnight sand
F                                                      G  
Singing the blues and ballads
          C                                      F  
And whatever came between
                          Dm  
Well, his heart was in the Union
                     Bb                                         G                                                      C                 F    G    C  
But his soul was reaching out for the servant's dream
                                                             G  
Now I was talking to a man
                                                                                C  
M et him in a bar near Clovis town
                                                                          Am  
He said the whole place was shaking
                                  D7                                            G7  
As they were passing his songs around
          F                                 C  
And then somebody asked him
                             F                                         G  
Where he'd be when tomorrow came
                     C                            G  
He just said with a grin,
                          Bb                            F  
"I put my thumb in the wind
                     G                                              C  
And I'm off down the road again"
                  F                              G  
Just a boy from Oklahoma
                C                                            Am  
On an endless one-night stand
F                                      G  
Wandering and a-rambling
C                                                                    Am  
Drifting with the midnight sand
F                                                      G  
Singing the blues and ballads
          C                                      F  
And whatever came between
          Dm  
His heart was in the Union
                     Bb                                         G                                                      C                 F    G    C  
But his soul was reaching out for the servant's dream
                                                  G  
Now you know Woody Guthrie
                                                                     C  
Is dead and buried in the ground
                                                        Am  
Sometimes I sing his songs
                        D7                                                              G7  
I get to thinking that he's still around
                             F                            C  
'Cause his fire is everlasting
          F                                    G  
His course was run true
                        C                                    G  
That old rambling man's risen
                     Bb                      F  
And the kingdom is his
                     G                                                    C  
But his songs are for me and you
                  F                              G  
Just a boy from Oklahoma
                C                                            Am  
On an endless one-night stand
F                                      G  
Wandering and a-rambling
C                                                                    Am  
Drifting with the midnight sand
F                                                      G  
Playing the blues and ballads
          C                                              F  
And whatever he came between
          Dm  
His heart was in the Union
          Bb                                         G                                                      C  
His soul was reaching out for the servant's dream
