A                           Bm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E                                A
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
A                        Bm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Bm/E                     F#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn.

B7                   E
No one ever loses anybody
    C#m7              C#7          F#m
but sometimes it's so hard to get along
D                             F#m7
I don't want to hang on to anybody
     B7                                   E7
so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone.

         A                       Bm
Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E                         Amaj7
find myself a spot where the sun shines through
     A                              Bm
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
Bm/E                            F#m
and get a good head start on forgetting you.

    B7                       E
You know I've never known anybody
C#m7                   C#7       F#m
who could ever make me feel this way
D                         F#m7
but no one gets to own anybody
    B7                             E7
you see, I have good reason when I say:

A                           Bm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E                                Amaj7
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
A                        Bm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Bm/E                     F#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn,
  Bm                  Amaj7
I will be sure not to give a damn,
Bm7                      F#m
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
