[Verso 1]
 
G                  Am         C               G 
Driving north toward Pinedale, leavin' Colorado 
G                   Am 
I prefer the middle of nowhere 
C                       G 
Just feels more like my home 
G                       Am 
This Appalachian boy has gone west 
C                         G 
Y'all might not get him back 
G                    Am 
A mountaineer dream's bigger here 
C                          G 
But loneliness is twice as bad 
 


[Refrão]
 
        C B7 Em             G 
And I'm only passing through 
        C B7 Em 
And I'm only passing through 
 


[Verso 2]
 
G                 Am 
Well, my baby she left me 
C                      G 
Didn't bother with goodbye 
G                      Am 
To tell the truth I don't care 
C                   G 
We were living a lie 
G                      Am 
You can catch me up at Fremont 
C              G 
Wind River behind 
G                       Am 
Tomorrow I'll climb ole square top 
C                      G 
Just to see if I can fly 
 


[Refrão]
 
        C B7 Em             G 
Cuz I'm only passing through 
        C B7 Em 
Yeah, I'm only passing through 
    F             C           G 
One day I'm gonna settle on my roots 
    F             C           G 
One day I'm gonna settle on my roots 
 


[Verso 3]
 
G                        Am 
Well no risk in life, no story 
C                           G 
That's what my daddy always said 
G                     Am 
And I ain't afraid of dying 
C                        G 
Just the things I never did 
G                          Am 
Some are threatened by the unknown 
C                     G 
And the bell tolls of time 
G                      Am 
As for me I'll take my chances 
C                         G 
Fore my dreams die on the vine 
 


[Refrão]
 
        C B7 Em            G 
Cuz I'm only passing through 
          C B7 Em 
Yeah, I'm only passing through 
    F             C            G 
One day I'm gonna settle on my roots 
    F             C            G 
One day I'm gonna settle on my roots
