On My Way To Town

F

[Verse 1]

On my way to town
F
Got my money in my secret pocket

On my way to town
                 Em            Dm
Till I get there I won’t turn around
             A7            Dm
I’m dropping pebbles in my tracks
               C                F
I will not get lost when I come back


[Verse 2]

On my way to town
F
Got my lunch tucked in another pocket

On my way to town
                Em              Dm
And I will only stop to wash it down
     A7             Dm     Bb
Cool water is good enough
               C             F       D7
Can’t waste my gold on finer stuff


[Bridge]

                 A7                D7
Got to keep your mind on the maps
                            A7
Feet on the ground and your eyes on the traps
F                     A7
Jewels that shine and pleasures that blind
    Bb                 C                      F
And ties that bind and you’re left behind, oh


[Verse 3]

I know this road
F
I was on it a long time ago

I know this road
                 Em                Dm
And I know every mine that could explode
               A7                     Dm
You gotta keep walking on through the rain
Bb                 C                  F
Trees that shelter fall and bring you pain


[Verse 4]

And when I get to town
F
I will go straight to market

When I get to town
             Em                      Dm
I will do my best until the sun goes down
    A7              Dm
And come the end of day
     Bb                    C                 F
I’ll look for the stones I dropped along the way
