Great song from Roger Alan Wade's more seriously toned 3rd album "Deguello Motel".
Slap a capo onto the ol' first fret for this tune! :)
[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D
Fell asleep on a Greyhound
G D
Woke up three-hundred miles from home
With the north wind dancin' like Gene Kelly
A
The sky lookin' like rusted chrome
Bm
Bus wheels winding like a hard-luck gambler
G D
On and on and on
Looks like here I go again
A D
Flat broke at the break of dawn
I leaned across the aisle and asked an older man
G D
"Sir could you tell me the time of day"
He just smiled and said "Son I'm five minutes fast
A
I got twenty minutes till eight"
Bm
I just closed my eyes and pictured you
G D
Probably just now wakin' up
I opened my eyes and for thirty-five years
A D
I just stared down into a whiskey cup
[Chorus]
G D
I could almost hear the sound of one hand clappin'
A D
I could almost see the shadow of the wind
G D
Old memories make a lonely boy go crazy
A D
And it looks like here I go again
[Break]
G D A D
[Verse]
D
Talked to a girl sittin' next to me
G D
Said I's goin' down to Tennessee
Told her I was a poet
A
She said she'd never heard of me
Bm
The memories like some stoned old soldier
G D
Stumbled through my mind
Made me wonder if where I was bound
A D
Was worth all I left behind
[Chorus]
G D
I could almost hear the sound of one hand clappin'
I could almost see the shadow of the wind
Old memories make a lonely boy go crazy
And it looks like here I go again
[Chorus/Outro]
And silence is the sound of one hand clappin'
Illusions are the shadow of the wind
Memories are just a lonely boy gone crazy
And it looks like here I go again
A G D A D
And it looks like I'm headin' that way again
