verse 1: 

           C        Cadd9    C       Cadd9  F    Dm, F  Dm 
Out on the highways, and the by-ways, all a-lone. 
          Gsus4         G  Gsus4      G      C 
I'm still searching for,    searching for my home. 

          C       Cadd9      C       Cadd9       F    Dm, F  Dm 
Up in the morning, Up in the morning, out on the road. 
       Gsus4          G  Gsus4   G         C 
And my head is aching,    and my hands are cold. 

verse 2: 

        C                             Cadd9 
And I'm looking for the silver lining,

Silver lining, in the clouds.

And it's a hard road, it's a hard road, daddy-o. 
        Gsus4           G    Gsus4  G     C 
When my job, is turning lead,        into gold.

       C                       Cadd9 
He was born in the back street,

Born in the back street, Jelly Roll. 
                  Gsus4                   G   Gsus4  G 
I'm on the road a-gain, and I'm searching for,

When the streets are white with snow.
