E               A            E  A  E 
She was standing on the gone side of leaving 
    F#m                  B               E Esus E 
She found here thumb and stuck it in the breeze 
            E           A            E  A   E 
She?ll take anything  going close to somewhere e 
        F#m             B               D 
She can lay it down and live like  she pleases 
C#m             A                  E 
She aint going nowhere she?s just leaving 
C#m            A                 E       A 
She aint going nowhere she can?t breathe in  
F#m            B                   E    A       E  A 
She aint going home and that?s for sure 
E                          A             E  A   E 
She's not sitting down and crying on her suitcase  
F#m                B               E   Esus 
She has no second thoughts by the road  
          E             A         E  A   E 
She's got feelings that need some repairing  
    F#m                 B            E 
And she did not give a damn that it showed 
C#m             A                  E 
She aint going nowhere she's just leaving 
C#m            A                 E       A 
She aint going nowhere she can't breathe in  
F#m            B                   E    A       E  A 
She aint going home and that's for sure 
 
SOLO 
 
E                 A            E A E  
The wind had it's way with her hair  
        F#m         B            E    
And the blues had a way with her smile  
E             A          E A  E 
And she had a way of her own  
     F#m              B          E   
Like prisoners have a way with a file  
C#m             A                  E 
She aint going nowhere she's just leaving 
C#m            A                 E       A 
She aint going nowhere she can't breathe in  
F#m            B                   E     
She aint going home and that's for sure 
C#m             A                  E 
She aint going nowhere she's just leaving 
C#m            A                 E       A 
She aint going nowhere she can't breathe in  
F#m            B                   E            
She aint going home and that's for sure 
F#m            B                   E    A       E  
She aint going home and that's for sure
