G                   D/F#          G
I'm out here a thousand miles from my home
C         G/B        D/A           G
Walkin' a road other men have gone down
    G                    C          G
I'm seein' your world of people and things
G                G/D          D/A          G
Your paupers and peasants and princes and kings

[Verse 2]
    G                   D/F#        G
Hey hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song
        C         G/B          D/A     G
'Bout a funny old world that's comin' along
      G                        C              G
Seems sicked it's hungry, it's tired and it's torn
G                G/D          D/A          G
It looks like it's a-dyin' and it's hardly been born

[Verse 3]
    G                       D/F#          G
Hey hey Woody Guthrie but I know that you know
        C               G/B          D/A        G
All the things that I'm sayin' and a many times more
    G                            C           G
I'm singin' you this song, but I can't sing enough
G                G/D          D/A          G
'Cause there's not many men that done the things that you done

[Verse 4]
          G                   D/F#      G
Here's to Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly too
       C            G/B         D/A           G
And to all the good people that traveled with you
G                            C            G
Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men
G                G/D            D/A           G
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind

[Verse 5]
    G                      D/F#          G
I'm leavin' tomorrow but I could leave today
C         G/B      D/A      G
Somewhere down the road someday
    G                    C           G
The very last thing that I'd want to do
      G               G/D          D/A          G
Is to say I've been hittin' some hard travelin' too
