[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am
On a long and lonesome highway
Am
east of Omaha
G
You can listen to the engine,
G
moaning out his one note song
D
You can think about the woman,
D Am Am
or the girl you knew the night before
Am
And your thoughts will soon be wandering
Am
the way they always do
G
When you're riding sixteen hours
G
and there's nothing much to do
D
You don't feel much like riding',
D Am Am
you just wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
G Am
Here I am, on the road again
G Am
Here I am, up on the stage
G D
Here I go, playing star again
F G Am
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
Am
So you walk into a restaurant,
Am
strung out from the road
G
And you feel the eyes upon you,
G
as you're shaking off the cold
D
You pretend it doesn't bother you,
D Am Am
but you just want to explode
Am Am
Most times you can here 'em talk,
other times you can't
G
All the same 'old cliches:
G
is that a woman? is a man?
D
And you always seem outnumbered,
D Am Am
you don’t dare make a stand
[Chorus]
G Am
Here I am, on the road again
G Am
Here I am, up on the stage
G D
Here I go, playing star again
F G Am
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
Am
Out there in the spotlight,
Am
you’re a million miles away
G
Every ounce of energy,
G
you try to give away
D
As the sweat pours out your body,
D Am Am
like the music that you play
[Bridge]
Am~ Am~
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
G~
With the echoes of the amplifiers,
G~
ringing in your head
D~
You smoke the day’s last cigarette,
D~ Am~ Am
remembering what she said
[Solo]
G Am 3x
F G Am
G Am 3x
F G Am
[Chorus]
G Am
Here I am, on the road again
G Am
Here I am, up on the stage
G D
Here I go, playing star again
F G Am
There I go, turn the page
F G Am
There I go, turn the page
F G Am Am
There I go oh yeah, there I go yeah
G Am G Am G Am
There I go, Here I go
F G Am~
There I go ohhh, here I go...
