INTRO:      D5    A5     G5     A5 
 
            D5                          A5 
            Got a big leather suitcase, all I own's inside. 
            G5                            G5 
            Seems I been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride. 
            D5                      A5 
            Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walking man; 
            G5                               G5 
            Mind drifts like a big balloon, out of my situation at hand. 
 
 
D5                    A5      G5                 A5 
Ain't it funny how a melody, can bring back a memory? 
D5                   A5             G5           A5                    D5     A5 G5   A5 
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of mind. 
 
 
            D5                             A5 
            Walkin' down a lonely highway, not feelin' alone; 
            G5                                    G5 
            Thinkin' back when things went my way, and not the road I'm on. 
            D5                                  A5 
            Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasts long; 
            G5                            G5 
            I can always make it through, on a wing and a prayer and a song. 
 
 
D5                    A5      G5                 A5

D5             A5                  G5                A5 
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love. 
D5              A5                        G5                        A5 
It can get you singin' along, chase the clouds away and make the sun shine
