The Wanderer
E---3--3--3--3--3--0--
G5I went out walking through the streets paved with gold
CLifted some stones, saw the skin and bones of a G5city without a soul
CI went out walking under an atomic sky
G5Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns
LCike the tears when I said goodbye
EmYeah I went with Cnothing, G5nothing but the thought of Dyou
I went EmwanderingC  D  G5  
G5I went drifting through the capitals of tin
Where Cmen can't walk or freely talk and G5sons turn their fathers in
I stoCpped outside a church house where thG5e citizens like to sit
They Csay they want the kingdom, but they G5don't want GOD in it
I wenCt out riding down that old eight lG5ane
CI passed by a thousand signs G5looking for my own name
EmYea I went wCith nothiG5ng, but the thought you'd be thDere too
Looking for EmyouC  D  G5  
a---3--3--3--5--5--5--7--7--7/9--9--------------
E--------------------------------------0--3--3--
G5I went out there in search of experience
To Emtaste and to touch and to Cfeel as much
G5As a man can Dbefore he repentsEm  C  D  G5  
G5I went out searching, looking for one good man
A sCpirit who would not bend or break
Who could sit at his father's right hand
I went out G5walking with a bible and a gun
The CWord of GOD lay heavy on my heart, I was G5sure I was the one
Now JCesus, don't You wait up, Jesus, I'G5ll be home soon
Yeah CI went out for the papers, G5told her I'd be back by noon
EmYeah I left with Cnothing, but the G5thought you'd be there Dtoo
Looking for EmyouC  D  G5  
EmYeah I left with Cnothing, G5nothing but the thought of Dyou
I went EmwanderingC  D  G5
