[Verse 1]
[D]
In days when I rode on the wind
[G]                                          [D]
I'd find a town, begin to look at life as green, 
[A]
New in town routine
[D]
Just as I would settle in my 
[G]                                        [D]
Feet would hit the ground again while wondering,
[A]
for a different scene
[Chorus 1]
[G]                            [D]
Now my heels left the pedal feel the motor between my toes
[G]                                    [D]
You to think that I was something still something I supposess
[G]                                             [D]                            [A]||
But do you still see my silhouette when your lashes start to close I'd like to know, -i
[A]                           [D]
Oh Roberta, where have you gone
[Verse 2]
[D]
All the nights when I'd be up to late
[G]                                          [D]
And you'd catch me in my altered state of consciousness
[A]
And I'd confess
[D]
All my inner thoughts of fear and shame
[G]                                        [D]
The way you spoke my name you'd boost my confidence
[A]
like a soft caress
[Chorus 2]
[G]                                      [D]
I'm hear clear left of center on the unrideable road
[G]                               [D]
Wish I knew the way that I was supposed to go
[G]                        [D]                [A]
But I'm still the same old fool you used to know,
 [A]                     [D]
Oh Roberta where have you gone
[Bridge]
[A]                              [D]
It's been years since we said goodbye
[A]                          [D]
Your cheeks were wet, my mouth was dry
[C]                                    [G]
And I recalled I never seen you cry before
[A]                      [G]         [A]        [D]
Haven't seen you since I walked out your door
[Verse 3]
[D]
Well life's been up and down since then
[G]                                          [D]
I think its moving up again thats life I guess
[A]
A long sting of tests
[D]
I don't look for you in other 
[G]                                        [D]
People like I used to do thats dangerous
[A]
And my soul needs a rest
[Chorus 3]
[G]                                        [D]
And I don't know what time it is or the town I'm sleeping in
[G]                                        [D]
Pray I might get frightened should I see your face again
[G]                      [D]              [A]
But I turn back on my heels and spin around
[A]                     [A]
Oh Roberta where are you know
