Tuning: E A D G B E
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]
DMovin' down that F#rock coast lineA A# B
Oh, nothin' Bbut my woman Bon my mind
EHear those waves Gpoundin' on sand
ESmell that sea air Gblowin' inland
EI wonder if she's Afound aGnother Dman, oh! A A B C#
DBlack stone roadway F#by the seaA A# B
Oh, I wonder Bif she's a-Bmissing me
EFour-wheeled clock keeps Gtickin' off time
EMeasured minutes by a Gbroken white line,
EWonder if I'm Areally Gon her Dmind, oh. A
[Chorus]
And now Gin my thoughts I Gfeel her eyes,
F#Feel her smilin' F#by my side,
DThen I turn Daround and see
There's Enobody sittin' EheF#re GbuAt BmeC#, yeah!
[Verse 2]
DRubber tired, oh, F#lonesome songA A# B
Tells me that BI've done Bsomething wrong
EDays before and Gthen we parted,
EI wonder why I Geven started
EThinkin' I've been Agone Gfar too Dlong. A A B C#
DMoving past those F#rocks and waveAs A# B
I wonder Bhow she Bspends her days,
EWatch the sun Gas we go by
EThrowin' colors off the Gwater sky,
EThinkin' about the rainbows Ain my Gbaby's Deyes. A A B C#
DMovin' past those F#pine-cone treesA, A# B
BSorry that I Bhad to leave
EHigh above on a Gtwisted road
EOcean movin' Gdown below
EI wonder just how Afar I Ghave to Dgo. A
[Chorus]
And now Gin my thoughts I Gfeel her eyes,
F#Feel her smilin' F#by my side,
DThen I turn Daround and see
There's Enobody sittin' EheF#re GbuAt BmeC#, yeah!
[Verse 3]
DRubber tired, oh, F#lonesome songA A# B

EThinkin' I've been Agone Gfar too Dlong. A A B C#
