(Verse I)
G
Seen the false horizon fade away like bisons 
C9                         G
Headed for the jungle, the cowboy can't endure 
D
Never look back, that's what he swore 
     G            Em
I'll take my pony to the shore 
C9         D
somewhere, somewhere  
(Chorus) 
     G                 D
Take another road to a hiding place 
Em            C9
Disappear without a trace 
G            D               C9
Take another road in another time 
   G               D
On another road in another time 
       Em             C9
Like a novel from the five and dime 
G            D               C9
Take another road in another time  
(Verse II)
G
Follow the equator, like that old articulator 
C9                   G
Sail upon the ocean, just like Mr. Twain 
D
Never look back, this is my plan 
G           Em
Run my pony in the sand 
C9         D
Somewhere, somewhere  
(Chorus) 
     G                 D
Take another road to a hiding place 
Em            C9
Disappear without a trace 
G            D               C9
Take another road in another time 
   G               D
On another road in another time 
       Em             C9
Like a novel from the five and dime 
G            D               C9
Take another road in another time  
(Bridge)
C9
Leave my cares behind 
C9
Take my own sweet time 
C9            D
Ocean's on my mind  
(Chorus)
     G                 D
Take another road to a hiding place 
Em            C9
Disappear without a trace 
G            D               C9
Take another road in another time 
   G               D
On another road in another time 
       Em             C9
Like a novel from the five and dime 
G            D               C9
Take another road in another time
