Johnny Cash - The Wanderer

this is for the song featuring u2 . the other one is in the wrong key .

G
i went out walking through the streets paved with gold
C
lifted some stones , saw the skin and bones
G
of a city without a soul

i went out walking under an atomic sky
C
where the ground wont turn and the rain it burns
G
like the tears when i said goodbye

Em C
yeah i went with nothing
G D
nothing but the thought of you
Em C D G
i went wandering

i went drifting through the capitals of tin
where men cant walk
or freely talk
and sons turn their fathers in
i stopped outside a church house
where the citizens like to sit
they say they want the kingdom
but they dont want god in it

i went out riding
down that ol eight lane
i passed by a thousand signs
looking for my own name

i went with nothing
but the thought youd be there too
looking for you

i went out there
in search of experience
to taste and to touch
and to feel as much
as a man can
before he repents

i went out searching , lookin for one good man
a spirit who would not bend or break
who would sit at his fathers right hand
i went out walking with a bible and a gun
the word of god lay heavy on my heart
i was sure i was the one
now jesus , dont you wait up
jesus , ill be home soon
yeah i went out for the papers
told her id be back by noon

yeah i left with nothing
but the thought youd be there too
looking for you . . .
yeah i left with nothing
nothing but the thought of you . . .
i went wandering
