Dm                   
Like a restless leave
G             Dm
in the autumn breeze
G       A           Dm
once, i was a tumbleweed

Dm
Like a rollin stone
G            Dm
cold and all alone
G              A                  Dm
living for the day my train would come

Dm
I never cared for school
G             Dm 
Or any golden rule
    G                   A                   Dm
and Papa used to always say I was a useless fool

Dm
So I left my home
G                    Dm
to show 'em they was wrong
G                     A              Dm
and headed out on the road signin my song

Dm
Then one sunny day
G                    Dm
the man he looked my way
    G                 A                 Dm
and everything that I dreamed of it was real

Dm
Money, girls and cars
G        Dm
big long cigars
    G                        A                  Dm
and i caught the first plane home so papa could see

       ----------------------------------------|
Dm                                             |
When I went home to show em they was wrong     |
G                    Dm                        |
all that i found was two tombstones            |
G                A                     Dm      |
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong   |
                                               |  CHORUS
Dm                                             |
first i got lost then i got found,             |
        G                     Dm               |
but the ones that i loved are in the ground    |
G           A                     Dm           |
papa I only wish you could see me now          |
       ----------------------------------------|
Dm                             
If there's any way
G                          Dm
that you could hear what I say
G             A               Dm
Papa, I never meant to do you wrong

Dm                             
all the money, girls and cars
G                   Dm
and all the world's long cigars
G                       A                            Dm
papa i just want you to know they couldn't take your place

CHORUS

--------------------------------------------

The chords for the verse as I listed them:
Dm
G Dm
G A Dm

However, you can also use:
Dm F
G Dm
G A Dm

Adding the F is more true to the song in my opinion.
This doesn't apply to the chorus.
