[Intro]
C F C F C F C
[Verse 1]
C G Am Em
You knew I could not stay for long when you asked me
F Dm G G7
To come over in the wee hours of the mornin'
C Em Am Em
I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin'
F Am G G7
And that is why I've given you fair warnin'
E7 Am C
And though you might have loved me like I never ever
F Dm Em
Have been loved before your front door is open
Am G G7
And I've got to keep on movin'
C G Am Em
So I will stay with you a while - and then I'll
F Dm G G7
Let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna
C Em Am Em
Because I've got to keep on searchin' for the dream
F Am G G7
That I've been seekin'- since I left my Ok-la-homa
E7 Am C
And who's to say that I might not be back tomorrow
F Dm Em
If I find there's only sorrow - You may see me from your
F G G7 G
Window sill next mornin'
[Chorus]
C Em Am G
I'm a drifter - and I've seen the rain
C Em Dm G
I'm a drifter - and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with
Am C
loneliness
F Em F Em
So I drift from town to town - searchin' all around
F Em Dm
Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow –
F G
And if the answer is you
G7 C F C F C F C F C
Then I'll be back to-morrow
[Verse 2]
C G Am Em
Lets make the most of time before the break of day
F Dm G G7
But don't try to make me stay if I don't want to
C Em Am Em
Because I've got to keep on searchin' for that dream and you
F Am Gsus G
can't bind me with the simple words I love you
E7 Am C
But if I realize the dream that I've been searchin' for is
F Dm
Waitin' here behind your door
Em A G G7
Then I'll come back to stay if you still want me too
[Chorus]
C Em Am G
I'm a drifter - and I've seen the rain
C Em Dm G
I'm a drifter - and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with
Am C
loneliness
F Em F Em
So I drift from town to town - searchin' all around
F Em Dm
Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow –
F G
And if the answer is you
G7 C F C F C F C F C
Then I'll be back to-morrow
[Chorus]
C Em Am G
I'm a drifter - and I've seen the rain
C Em Dm G
I'm a drifter - and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with
Am C
loneliness
F Em F Em
So I drift from town to town - searchin' all around
F Em Dm
Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow –
F G
And if the answer is you
G7 C F C F C F C F C
Then I'll be back to-morrow
