Intro: D 

 D 
 I went out walking through streets paved with gold, 
 G                                         D 
 lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones of a city without a soul. 

 D 
 I went out walking under an atomic sky, 
           G 
 where the ground won't turn, and the rain it burns 
          D 
 like the tears when I said goodbye. 
 Bm                G       D                    A 
 Yeah, I went with nothing, nothing but the thought of you, 
        Bm     G  A D 
 I went wandering. 

 D 
 I went drifting through the capitals of tin, 
       G                               D 
 where men can't walk, or freely talk, and sons turn their fathers in. 

    D 
 I stopped outside a church house, where the citizens like to sit, 
      G                              D 
 they say they want the kingdom, but they don't want God in it. 

 D 
 I went out riding down that ol' eight lane, 
 G                        D 
 I passed by a thousand signs looking for my own name. 
 Bm          G                D                   A 
 I went with nothing, but the thought you'd be there, too, 
            Bm   G A D 
 looking for you. 

 D G                    D 
    I went out there in search of experience, 
    Bm                     G 
 to taste and to touch and to feel as much 
 D            A                Bm  G A D 
  as a man can  before he repents. 

 D 
 I went out searching, lookin' for one good man, 
    G 
 a spirit who would not bend or break, 
         D 
 who would sit at his father's right hand. 

 D 
 I went out walking with a Bible and a gun, 
     G                                    D 
 the word of God lay heavy on my heart, I was sure I was the one. 

      D 
 Now, Jesus, don't you wait up, Jesus, I'll be home soon, 
       G                    D 
 yeah, I went out for the papers, told her I'd be back by noon. 
 Bm                G                D                A 
 Yeah, I left with nothing, but the thought you'd be there, too, 
            Bm   G A D 
 looking for you. 
  Bm               G       D                A 
 Yeah, I left with nothing, nothing but the thought of you, 
        Bm        G A D 
 I went wandering.
