Roadsinger

C

[Verse]
C                         F             C
 Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat.
C                 G            C            G            C      F  C
 People stood and stared  then closed their doors  as he passed.
C                              F                  C
 He strolled the empty street; kids banged on tin cans.
C                 G      C      G                       C    F  C
 Then the panting dogs began to bark  as the roadsinger sang.

[Chorus]
Am                G            D  F                C
 Where do you go  where do you go  when hearts are closed?
F                 Am               G                     G7
 When a friend be-comes a stranger  nobody wants to know.
Am                G            D  F                     C
 Where do you go  where do you go  when the world turns dark
F                 Am                 G        F         C       F  C
 And the light of truth is blown out  and the roads are blocked?

[Verse]
C                      F                        C
 He stopped by a stall  between the barrels and sacks
C                      G       C      G              C    F  C
 a child's face peeped out and gave a smile  and ran back.
C                     F            C
 Behind a misty glass  on a window-pane
C                G      C       G            C    F  C
 a little finger drew a perfect heart  and a name.

[Chorus]
Am                G            D  F                       C
 Where do you go  where do you go  in a world filled with fright
F       Am                G                   G7
 Only a song to warm you   through the night?
Am                G            D  F               C
 Where do you go  where do you go  after lies are told
F                 Am                 G        F        C    F  C
 And the light of truth is blown out  and the night is cold?

[Interlude]
C  F  C  C  G  C  G  C  F  C

[Verse]
C                   F           C
 Roadsinger rode on  to another land
C                  G       C                G         C     F  C
 Though the people spoke a different tongue; it under-stand.
C                             F                    C
 They showed him how to share  and took him by the hand
C               G       C      G                   C    F  C
 Showed him the path to Heaven  through the desert sand.

[Chorus]
Am                G            D   F              C
 Where do you go  where do you go   to find happi-ness
F           Am                 G      G7
 In a world filled with hatred  tears?
Am                G            D  F          C
 Where do you go  where do you go  if no one cares
F          Am           G  F            C      F  C
 And every-body's lost      looking for theirs.
