	  		C                C/B    C/A  C/G 
You've long been on the open road 
            F              C     C/G 
You've been sleepin in the rain 
         C     C/B       C/A   C/G 
From the dirty words and muddy cells 
     F                      G 
Your clothes are soiled and stained. 
    C         C/B       C/A   C/G 
But the dirty words and muddy cells 
     F              G 
Will soon be hid in shame 
C                F        C 
So only stop to  rest yourself 
     F             G 
Till you'll go off again. 
   C             F 
So take off your thirsty boots 
    C        F  
And stay for awhile 
     C        C/B     C/A 
Your feet are hot and weary 
Dm           G 
From a dusty mile 
    C           F 
And maybe I can make you laugh 
C           F  
Maybe I can try 
         C       C/B     C/A 
I'm just lookin' for the evening 
        Dm      G       C 
And the morning in your eyes. 
C           C/B    C/A      C/G                  
But tell me of the ones you saw 
   F                C    C/G 
As far as you could see 
   C             C/B  C/A      C/G 
Across the plain from field to town 
   F             G 
A-marching to be free 
    C      C/B    C/A    C/G 
And of the rusted prison gates 
     F            G 
That tumbled by degree 
     C                 F      C 
Like laughing children one by one 
     F                   G 
They looked like you and me 
   C             F 
So take off your thirsty boots 
    C        F  
And stay for awhile 
     C        C/B     C/A 
Your feet are hot and weary 
Dm           G 
From a dusty mile 
    C           F 
And maybe I can make you laugh 
C           F  
Maybe I can try 
         C       C/B     C/A 
I'm just lookin' for the evening 
        Dm      G       C 
And the morning in your eyes. 
C          C/B    C/A      C/G              
I know you are no stranger down 
    F               C      C/G 
The crooked rainbow trails 
     C             C/B   C/A       C/G 
From dancing cliff-edged shattered sills 
   F                G  
Of slender shackled jails 
C              C/B   C/A     C/G 
But the voices drift up from below 
       F                   G 
As the walls they're being scaled 
C       G       C        
All of this and more  
     F                 G 
Your song shall not be failed. 
   C             F 
So take off your thirsty boots 
    C        F  
And stay for awhile 
     C        C/B     C/A 
Your feet are hot and weary 
Dm           G 
From a dusty mile 
    C           F 
And maybe I can make you laugh 
C           F  
Maybe I can try 
         C       C/B     C/A 
I'm just lookin' for the evening 
        Dm      G       C 
And the morning in your eyes.
