Intro: 
 
D A G A D 
 
Verse 1: 
 
G              A             D 
Here I am back on the road again 
 
 G                  A                  D 
Don't it feel just like my old worst friend 
 
     G                    A             D 
The ne'er do well that a mother prays against 
 
 G                  A           D 
Jack Kerouac meets Huckleberry Finn 
 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
 G              A                 D 
Yes I know the ways of this old friend of mine 
 
               G               A             D 
He's got some good intentions misinterpreted every time 
 
           G                A             D 
Said "the road is long and winding" but what he really meant 
 
         G               A                D 
Was the comfort you are seeking will not meet you at the end 
 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
 
G                     D 
Gets me going like a fiddle tune 
 
G                        D 
Don't even know what my feet are doing 
 
G           A                   D 
Hey, don't fiddlers earn their pay, OK 
 
G                     D 
Green lights all the way to nowhere 
 
G               D 
Half the fun is in the getting there 
 
    G                 A                      D 
And once you figure that out you're on your way 
 
 
 
Verse 3: 
 
G                A              D 
Oh, it's hot out on the road today 
 
    G                A               D 
No cover, no cloud, no chance for escape 
 
   G             A      D 
Except that 18 wheeler on the straight-away 
 
      G                   A                 D 
So I pull up, match his speed and steal some shade 
 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
 
G                   D 
Guess I got me the Gypsy virus 
 
G                D 
No cure for the ramblin-itis 
 
   G         A                D 
Except some asphalt and some days, fine days 
 
G                     D 
Green lights all the way to nowhere 
 
G                D 
Half the fun is just in getting there 
 
    G                 A                      D 
And once you figure that out you're on your way

Verse 4: 
 
     G                 A                 D 
The road can give you fortunes that are yours to use or keep 
 
   G                 A               D 
Or it can take your very life if it lulls you off to sleep 
 
     G           A                D 
But so can any style of life or friend that you might choose 
 
    G               A                        D 
So being dead and friendless, man that's the only way to lose 
 
 
 
Chorus 3: 
 
G                       D 
Tomorrow shines like a gold doubloon 
 
G                         D 
You could have it if you wanted to 
 
G                 A                         D 
You just have to hold your mouth the right way, that's the way 
 
G                     D 
Green lights all the way to nowhere 
 
G               D 
All the fun is just the getting there 
 
    G                 A                      D 
And once you figure that out you're on your way 
 
 
 
Ending: 
 
          G      A            G       A        G      A      D     G  A  D 
Well I'd best be on, Well I think I'm on, I'm finally on my way
