Intro:  D 

D                                G 
You followed me to Texas, 
A7                            D 
You followed me to Utah. 
                                 G                A7 
We didn't find it there, so we moved on 
D                                 G 
You went with me to Alabam', 
A7                                         D 
Things looked good in Birmingham. 
                              G                A7 
We didn't find it there, so we moved on.

               D                  G 
I know you're tired of following 
A7                   D           
My elusive dreams and schemes. 
G                             D 
For their only fleeting things. 
A7                    D 
My elusive dreams. 

D                                  G 
You had my child in Memphis, 
A7                              D 
I heard of work in Nashville. 
                          G                A7 
We didn't find it there, so we moved on. 
D                                 G 
To a small farm in Nebraska, 
A7                           D 
To a gold mine in Alaska. 
                                G                  A7 
We didn't find it there, so we moved on. 

D                       G 
Now we've left Alaska 
A7                                         D 
'cause there was no gold mine. 
                                   G          A7 
But this time only two of us moved on. 


Spoken: 

D                                     G 
Now all we have is each other 
A7                   D 
And a little to cling to. 
                                       G           A7    
And still you won't let me go, go on alone.
