with lyrics:

|| C | C | G | C | Am | F | C | C |

   C       C        G           C
A million miles our   vagabond heels
        Am  F                C     C
Clocked up     beneath the clouds
         G        G       C         F
They're counting down to show time
        C          C              F     F
When we do it for real with the crowds
G             G               C              F
Air miles are owing but they don't come for free
          C              C       F     F
And they don't give you any for pain
C            C       G       C
But if it's all for nothing all the 
     Am       F          C | C | G | C | Am | F | C | C |
roadrunning's   been in vain

     C             C        G          C
The rimshots come down like    cannon fire
     Am     F           C      C
And thunder    off the wall
           G     G      C      F
There's a man in every corner
     C           C          F     F
And each one is giving his all
G           G    C          F
This is my fife this is my drum
        C          C           F      F
So you never will hear me complain
C            C       G       C           
And if it's all for nothing all the 
     Am       F           C
roadrunning's    been in vain

F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunnin

     C             C       G             C
Well if you're inclined to go up on the wall
        Am      F            C     C
It can only be     fast and high
     G         G              C     F
And those who don't like the danger
           C         C            F    F
Soon find something different to try
G             G      C               F
When there's only a ringin' in your ears
        C         C      F    F
And an echo down memory lane
C            C       G       C
But if it's all for nothing all the 
     Am       F          C 
roadrunning's   been in vain

F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunnin
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunnin

      C            C    G          C     
The show's packing up I   sit and watch
     Am     F          C    C
the convoy    leaving town
 G              G      C         F
There's no pretending I'm not a fool,
     C        C          F     F
For riding around and around
          G               G           C            F
Like the pictures you keep   of your old wall of death
      C            C            F      F
You showed me one time on the plane
C            C       G       C
But if it's all for nothing all the 
     Am       F          C | C | G | C | Am | F | C | C |
roadrunning's   been in vain

   C       C       G            C
A million miles of    vagabond sky
        Am   F              C      C
Clocked up      above the clouds
G               G            C      F
I'm still your man for the roaming
        C                C        F      F
For as long as there's roamin' allowed
 G             G         C             F
There'll be a rider and there'll be a wall
    C            C         F     F
As long as the dreamer remains
C            C       G       C           
And if it's all for nothing all the 
     Am       F           C
roadrunning's    been in vain

F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunnin
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunnin
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunnin
