Intro:

C

Verse 1:

C                         F             C
 Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat.
C                 G            C            G            C       F, C
 People stood and stared, then closed their doors, as he passed.
C                              F                  C
 He strolled the empty street; kids banged on tin cans.
C                 G      C      G                       C     F, C
 Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the roadsinger sang.

Chorus 1:

Am                G            D   F                C
 Where do you go, where do you go,  when hearts are closed?
F                 Am                G                     G7
 When a friend be-comes a stranger,  nobody wants to know.
Am                G            D   F                     C
 Where do you go, where do you go,  when the world turns dark,
F                 Am                 G        F         C        F, C
 And the light of truth is blown out, and the roads are blocked?

Verse 2:

C                       F                        C
 He stopped by a stall,  between the barrels and sacks,
C                      G       C      G              C     F, C
 A child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back.
C                     F            C
 Behind a misty glass, on a window-pane,
C                G      C       G            C     F, C
 A little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name.

Chorus 2:

Am                G            D   F                       C
 Where do you go, where do you go,  in a world filled with fright,
F       Am                G                   G7
 Only a song to warm you,  through the night?
Am                G            D   F               C
 Where do you go, where do you go,  after lies are told,
F                 Am                 G         F        C     F, C
 And the light of truth is blown out,  and the night is cold?

Verse 3:

C                    F           C
 Roadsinger rode on,  to another land,
C                  G       C                G          C     F, C
 Though the people spoke a different tongue;  it under-stand.
C                              F                    C
 They showed him how to share,  and took him by the hand,
C               G       C       G                   C    F, C
 Showed him the path to Heaven,  through the desert sand.

Chorus 3:

Am                G            D   F              C
 Where do you go, where do you go,  to find happi-ness,
F           Am                  G       G7
 In a world filled with hatred,  tears?
Am                G            D   F          C
 Where do you go, where do you go,  if no one cares,
F          Am           G  F            C       F, C
 And every-body's lost,     Looking for theirs.
