------------------------------------------------------------
           C       F
Outside of Memphis
F          C 
just after sunrise
                          F 
he got on the Grayhound
F                  C  
and he sat next to me

And he said,
 Am       G                F
"Ain't no pathway that I'm looking for
 Am       G          F      Dm
 ain't no end to the line
Dm                                  C 
 I think I shouldn't think about it all that much
Dm                                  C
 I guess I shouldn't think about it all the time"
         C
He had a woman
         F
He had a family
       C        F
He got restless
F                   C
Now he just doesn't care

He said,
 Am       G                F
"Ain't no pathway that I'm looking for
 Am       G          F     Dm 
 ain't no end to the line
 Dm                                 C         
 I think I shouldn't think about it all that much
 Dm                                 C
 I think I shouldn't think about it all the time"
Em                     C
After a while you lose direction
Em                             G
Follow the first path that you see
        Dm
and you say,
                                      G
"I never ever thought that this could happen
 Dm                    G
 could never happen to me"
[NO CHORDS]         C       F
Here comes the Blue Drifter
F            C           
Lost on the highway
                   F
Talks in a whisper
                       C  F
And he looks just like me
                       C  F
And he looks just like me
                       C  F
And he looks just like me
                       C  F
And he looks just like me
                       C  F
And he looks just like me
                       C  Dm
And he looks just like me
Dm                                 C 
I guess I shouldn't think about it all the time
Dm                         C
I shouldn't think about it all the time
