C                                               G5 
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones of a city without a soul 
          C              
Where the ground won't turn and the rain, it burns 
         G5 
Like the tears when I said goodbye 
 
 
Em               C        G5                         D 
Yeah I went with nothing, nothing but the thought of you 
       Em            C      D    G5 
I went wandering

G5 
I went drifting through the capitals of tin 
      C                                 G5 
Where men can't walk or freely talk and sons turn their fathers in 
I stopped outside a church house where the citizens like to sit 
     C                                   G5 
They say they want the kingdom, but they don't want GOD in it 
I went out riding down that old eight lane 
C                            G5 
I passed by a thousand signs looking for my own name 
Em          C        G5                             D 
I went with nothing, but the thought you'd be there too 
            Em          C      D   G5 
Looking for you

G5 
I went out there in search of experience 
   Em                        C 
To taste and to touch and to feel as much  
G5          D                   Em  C  D  G5 
As a man can before he repents 
G5 
I went out searching, looking for one good man 
  C 
A spirit who would not bend or break 
          G5 
Who would sit at his father's right hand 
I went out walking with a bible and a gun 
    C                                        G5 
The Word of GOD lay heavy on my heart, I was sure I was the one 
Now Jesus, don't You wait up, Jesus, I'll be home soon 
     C                          G5 
Yeah I went out for the papers, told her I'd be back by noon 
Em               C                G5                     D 
Yeah I left with nothing, but the thought you'd be there too 
            Em      C    D   G5 
Looking for you 
Em               C        G5                         D 
Yeah I left with nothing, nothing but the thought of you 
       Em          C    D   G5 
I went wandering
