C G5
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones of a city without a soul
C
Where the ground won't turn and the rain, it burns
G5
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Em C G5 D
Yeah I went with nothing, nothing but the thought of you
Em C D G5
I went wandering

G5
I went drifting through the capitals of tin
C G5
Where men can't walk or freely talk and sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house where the citizens like to sit
C G5
They say they want the kingdom, but they don't want GOD in it
I went out riding down that old eight lane
C G5
I passed by a thousand signs looking for my own name
Em C G5 D
I went with nothing, but the thought you'd be there too
Em C D G5
Looking for you

G5
I went out there in search of experience
Em C
To taste and to touch and to feel as much
G5 D Em C D G5
As a man can before he repents
G5
I went out searching, looking for one good man
C
A spirit who would not bend or break
G5
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking with a bible and a gun
C G5
The Word of GOD lay heavy on my heart, I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't You wait up, Jesus, I'll be home soon
C G5
Yeah I went out for the papers, told her I'd be back by noon
Em C G5 D
Yeah I left with nothing, but the thought you'd be there too
Em C D G5
Looking for you
Em C G5 D
Yeah I left with nothing, nothing but the thought of you
Em C D G5
I went wandering
G5
Em C G5 D Em C D G5
(BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!)

THE WANDERER
chords by: Sergio Lucero
capo on 1st
F
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold
Bb
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones
F
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking under an atomic sky
Bb
Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns
F
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Dm Bb
Yeah I went with nothing
F C
Nothing but the thought of you
Dm-Bb-C-F
I went wandering
I went drifting through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it
I went out riding
Down that ol' eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name
I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you
I went out there in search of experience
To taste and to touch and to feel as much
As a man can before he repents
I went out searching, lookin' for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking with a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you...
Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you...
I went wandering
