Here I Go Again

D# D# Fell asleep on a Greyhound G# D# Woke up three-hundred miles from home With the north wind dancin' like Gene Kelly A# The sky lookin' like rusted chrome Cm Bus wheels winding like a hard-luck gambler G# D# On and on and on Looks like here I go again A# D# Flat broke at the break of dawn I leaned across the aisle and asked an older man G# D# "Sir could you tell me the time of day" He just smiled and said "Son I'm five minutes fast A# I got twenty minutes till eight" Cm I just closed my eyes and pictured you G# D# Probably just now wakin' up I opened my eyes and for thirty-five years A# D# I just stared down into a whiskey cup G# D# I could almost hear the sound of one hand clappin' A# D# I could almost see the shadow of the wind G# D# Old memories make a lonely boy go crazy A# D# And it looks like here I go again G# D# A# D# D# Talked to a girl sittin' next to me G# D# Said I's goin' down to Tennessee Told her I was a poet A# She said she'd never heard of me Cm The memories like some stoned old soldier G# D# Stumbled through my mind Made me wonder if where I was bound A# D# Was worth all I left behind G# D# I could almost hear the sound of one hand clappin' I could almost see the shadow of the wind Old memories make a lonely boy go crazy And it looks like here I go again Chorus/Outro And silence is the sound of one hand clappin' Illusions are the shadow of the wind Memories are just a lonely boy gone crazy And it looks like here I go again A# G# D# A# D# And it looks like I'm headin' that way again
