[Verse]
C                      Am
  I wore my boots out walkin’
C                   Am
  Wore my heart out talkin’
C                      Am
  I felt the pain and I broke the chain
         F                       C
But I’ve still got a long way to go

[Verse]
C                        Am
  Been on the road till tomorrow
C                               Am
  Been through the joy and the sorrow
C
  Came through the flood
    Am
and I pulled through the mud
         F                       C
But I’ve still got a long way to go

[Verse]
C                        Am
  Been in the back-room dealin'
C                      Am
  Been on a long hook reelin'
C                         Am
  Found in the shed and I woke in a sunny bed
        F                      C
But I still got a long way to go

[Verse]
C                            Am
  Been on the rails and big muddy
C                         Am
  Crossed the trail rocky and rutted
C                       Am
  Been down the road a million miles
         F                       C
But I’ve still got a long way to go

[Verse]
C                               Am
  I traveled near and traveled far
C                      Am
  I beat a hole in my guitar
C
  Crawled with the zeroes
      Am
and I stood with my heroes
         F                       C
But I’ve still got a long way to go

[Verse]
C                              Am
  Been in the rain and on the run
C                           Am
  Worked a long day in the sun
C
  I slopped the pails
Am
and I beat the nails
         F                       C
But I’ve still got a long way to go

[Verse]
C                            Am
  I sang the A verse as the B verse
C                          Am
  Took the C verse to the chorus
C
  Rewrote and changed it,
      Am
then rearranged it
         F                       C
But I’ve still got a long way to go

  I lost my way in darkest night
C                           Am
  I woke again and saw the light
C                      Am
  Opened the book and I took a look
         F                        C
But I’ve still got a long way to go

Tell me what... (tell me what, tell me what)
                        C                       Am
What is the soul of a man... (what is the sould of a man)

He’s got to reach out his hand ...

(Fading out)
                         Am
I've got a long way to go, I've got a long way
C                        Am
I've got a long way to go, Still got a long way
C                        Am
I've got a long way ...
