HEADING FOR THE LIGHT- The Traveling Wilburys

G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)C (x32010@1)D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1)                                         AI've (x02220@1)wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
        C (x32010@1)                       DI (xx0232@1)was lost in the night with no sight of you
         C (x32010@1)                      DAnd (xx0232@1)at times it was so blue and lonely
                  G (320003@1) CD
Heading for the light

Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm
Heading for the light

CHORUS #1:
riff  Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)                      G (320003@1)    Ooh, I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
riff Em (022000@1)          D (xx0232@1)                  C (x32010@1)    And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
    A (x02220@1)                          GI (320003@1)didn't know the mess I was in

My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light ...SOLO

CHORUS #2:
Ooh, my hands were tied by jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in

REPEAT THIRD VERSE

I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
      C (x32010@1)                           D (xx0232@1)                      GNow (320003@1)there's nothing in the way to stop me, heading for the light
 A (x02220@1)C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)RIFF:
