A
On the stroke of ten
  C/A
I slipped into the van
    D/A
And hid myself behind some boxes
                A
Waitin' for the driver yeah

The first time I was lucky
        C/A
For the van took me to Kentucky
    D/A                         A
The first time too I slept in a railway station


  C#m                                 E
I woke up wondering you're running to nowhere
           C#m                            E
But at the same time I was here, oh and I didn't care
   D        A/C#    C         G/B
Oh where am I    ac companied by
     F          G          E
Good hopes, and believe me I'll get by


            Am      F              C          G
Yeah, I'm a runnin',    well I'm a runnin'
      D                       F
I'm a runnin' till I can't go on
       C               G
Till I find where I be long
           Am       F        C          G
Yeah I'm a runnin'     I'm a runnin
         D                       F
Oh I'm a runnin' till I can't go on
       C               G      A
Till I find where I be long


|A        |C/A       |D/A       |A        |


|A        |C/A       |D/A       |A        |


A
So I ramble through the country
    C/A
And most of the time
D/A                            A
Nature doesn't care less about me

And sometimes when I'm alone
  C/A                         D/A
I hear my father say: Son you gotta do something
                      A
Take that advice from me now


     C#m                     E
So I drop down to South Caro lina
       C#m                      E
With a little luck and a little sunshine yeah
       D      A/C#    C      G/B
I say, here I stay,   here I pray
    F          G  E
For happiness, oh every day


But until now

       Am      F              C          G
 I'm a runnin',    well I'm a runnin'
      D                       F
I'm a runnin' till I can't go on
       C               G
Till I find where I be long
           Am       F        C          G
Yeah I'm a runnin'     I?m a runnin
