I would recommend barring the majority of the chords except for D and E, this makes the quick transitions
less challenging and sounds closer to the album version than if they were to be played open.
[Intro]
E F# G A B C#
[Verse 1]
D F# A A# B
Movin' down that rock coast line
B B
Oh, nothin' but my woman on my mind
E G
Hear those waves poundin' on sand
E G
Smell that sea air blowin' inland
E A G D A A B C#
I wonder if she's found another man, oh!
D F# A A# B
Black stone roadway by the sea
B B
Oh, I wonder if she's a-missing me
E G
Four-wheeled clock keeps tickin' off time
E G
Measured minutes by a broken white line,
E A G D A
Wonder if I'm really on her mind, oh.
[Chorus]
G G
And now in my thoughts I feel her eyes,
F# F#
Feel her smilin' by my side,
D D
Then I turn around and see
E E F# G A B C#
There's nobody sittin' here but me, yeah!
[Verse 2]
D F# A A# B
Rubber tired, oh, lonesome song
B B
Tells me that I've done something wrong
E G
Days before and then we parted,
E G
I wonder why I even started
E A G D A A B C#
Thinkin' I've been gone far too long.
D F# A A# B
Moving past those rocks and waves
B B
I wonder how she spends her days,
E G
Watch the sun as we go by
E G
Throwin' colors off the water sky,
E A G D A A B C#
Thinkin' about the rainbows in my baby's eyes.
D F# A A# B
Movin' past those pine-cone trees,
B B
Sorry that I had to leave
E G
High above on a twisted road
E G
Ocean movin' down below
E A G D A
I wonder just how far I have to go.
[Chorus]
G G
And now in my thoughts I feel her eyes,
F# F#
Feel her smilin' by my side,
D D
Then I turn around and see
E E F# G A B C#
There's nobody sittin' here but me, yeah!
[Verse 3]
D F# A A# B
Rubber tired, oh, lonesome song
B B
Tells me that I've done something wrong
E G
Days before and then we parted,
E G
I wonder why I even started
E A G D A A B C#
Thinkin' I've been gone far too long.
[Outro]
(repeat this progression until fade)
D F# A A# B C C#
Yeah, I've been gone too long,
D F# A A# B C C#
Oh, now don't you know I've been gone too long, oh yeah.
D F# A A# B C C#
Yeah, woman, oh, I've been gone too long, yeah,
D F# A A# B C C#
Yeah now little girl, I'm coming home, yes.
D F# A A# B C C#
Mm, you know that I'm coming on home,
Yeah, you know ...
