* OPTIONAL: There is also a little riff played before the chorus (leading into *Riff1) by a second guitar, but its just C and Cadd9 picking only one or 2 strings at a time. again... listen to the song for the timing. its easy enough to play with one guitar and it sounds good. Intro: Fingerpicking C Cmaj7 Verse 1:
C F C Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat.
C G C G C Cadd9 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 Cadd9 C *Riff1 Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the roadsinger sang.
Chorus 1:
Am G D F C Where do you go? Oh, where do you go? when hearts are closed
F Am *G-Riff G When a friend becomes 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 Cadd9 C And the light of truth is blown out, and the roads are blocked?
Verse 2:
C F C He stopped by a store, between the barrels and sacks,
C G C G C Cadd9 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 Cadd9 C *Riff1 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-Riff G 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 Cadd9 C And the light of truth is blown out, and the night is cold?
Interlude: (Humming and slide guitar) C, F, C C G C G, C Cadd9 C C, F, C C G C G, C Cadd9 C Verse 3:
C F C Roadsinger rode on, to another land,
C G C G C Cadd9 C Though the people spoke a different tongue, theyÂ’d understand
C F C They showed him how to share, and took him by the hand,
C G C G C Cadd9 C *Riff1 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 happiness,
F Am *G-Riff G In a world filled with hatred... and tears.
Am G D F C Where do you go, where do you go, if no one cares,
F Am G F C Cadd9 C And everybody's lost, Looking for theirs.
