[Intro]
Gm
[Verse]
Gm
On a long and lonesome highway
Gm
east of Omaha
F
You can listen to the engine,
F
moaning out his one note song
C
You can think about the woman,
C Gm Gm
or the girl you knew the night before
Gm
And your thoughts will soon be wandering
Gm
the way they always do
F
When you're riding sixteen hours
F
and there's nothing much to do
C
You don't feel much like riding',
C Gm Gm
you just wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
F Gm
Here I am, on the road again
F Gm
Here I am, up on the stage
F C
Here I go, playing star again
D# F Gm
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
Gm
So you walk into a restaurant,
Gm
strung out from the road
F
And you feel the eyes upon you,
F
as you're shaking off the cold
C
You pretend it doesn't bother you,
C Gm Gm
but you just want to explode
Gm Gm
Most times you can here 'em talk,
other times you can't
F
All the same 'old cliches:
F
is that a woman? is a man?
C
And you always seem outnumbered,
C Gm Gm
you don’t dare make a stand
[Chorus]
F Gm
Here I am, on the road again
F Gm
Here I am, up on the stage
F C
Here I go, playing star again
D# F Gm
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
Gm
Out there in the spotlight,
Gm
you’re a million miles away
F
Every ounce of energy,
F
you try to give away
C
As the sweat pours out your body,
C Gm Gm
like the music that you play
[Bridge]
Gm~ Gm~
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
F~
With the echoes of the amplifiers,
F~
ringing in your head
C~
You smoke the day’s last cigarette,
C~ Gm~ Gm
remembering what she said
[Solo]
F Gm 3x
D# F Gm
F Gm 3x
D# F Gm
[Chorus]
F Gm
Here I am, on the road again
F Gm
Here I am, up on the stage
F C
Here I go, playing star again
D# F Gm
There I go, turn the page
D# F Gm
There I go, turn the page
D# F Gm Gm
There I go oh yeah, there I go yeah
F Gm F Gm F Gm
There I go, Here I go
D# F Gm~
There I go ohhh, here I go...
