Intro: Am 


I heard my neighbour's rooster crow 

Early in the day 
                           G 
I heard his axe beyond the woods 
    Am      G      Am 
And now I'm bound away 



For some men love the city lights 

Some men crave the town 
                               G 
I'll be bound for the lonesome woods 
    Am         G      Am 
And there I'll settle down 


 

[Refrão]

Fiddle and a bow and a firelight low 

You can hear that lonesome sound 
                               G 
I'll leave behind my troubling mind 
    Am     G            Am 
And go the whole world 'round 



The red squirrel leaves when the grey squirrel comes 

The eagle nests alone 
                             G 
A hundred miles from a wagon track 
   Am         G        Am 
Is where I'll build my home 




[Refrão]

Fiddle and a bow and a firelight low 

You can hear that lonesome sound 
                               G 
I'll leave behind my troubling mind 
    Am     G            Am 
And go the whole world 'round 


INTERLUDE: Am       G    Am 



I've seen the old man whittling wood 

I've seen the streets of town 
                                    G 
I'll pack my goods for the Arkansas woods 
    Am         G      Am 
And there I'll settle down 
               G      Am 
And there I'll settle down now

    Am     G            Am 
And go the whole world 'round 
                               G 
I'll leave behind my troubling mind 
    Am     G            Am 
And go the whole world 'round
