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 <slucero@cec.uchile.cl> 


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
