ABmABm
ABm I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road Bm/EA Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am ABm Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream Bm/EF#m so I will be sure not to give a damn.
B7E No one ever loses anybody C#m7C#7F#m but sometimes it's so hard to get along DF#m7 I don't want to hang on to anybody B7E7 so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone.
ABm Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road Bm/EAmaj7 find myself a spot where the sun shines through ABm I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus Bm/EF#m and get a good head start on forgetting you.
B7E You know I've never known anybody C#m7C#7F#m who could ever make me feel this way DF#m7 but no one gets to own anybody B7E7 you see, I have good reason when I say:
ABm I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road Bm/EAmaj7 Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am ABm Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream Bm/EF#m so I will be sure not to give a damn, BmAmaj7 I will be sure not to give a damn, Bm7F#m I want to be sure not to give a damn.
