G 	  	  	  	  	 C 	   G
Old man walking down the street wind was at his back
                                     C                 G
He’s headed to a place today and he won’t be coming back

    D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
C 	  	   G
Roll on down the road
D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
Em
Cause he’s gotta long way to go
G 	  	  	  	 C
To get away from the people, paupers and the priest
G 	  	   D
And the men with shoes on their feet
G 	  	  	  	  	 C
And the women who are liars and the lone high wires
G 	  	  	 D
And the house that’s all alone

    D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
C 	  	   G
Roll on down the road
D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
Em
Cause he’s gotta long way to go
G 	  	  	  	      C 	       G
He bought him a ticket today and it had no return
G 	  	  	  	 C 	    G
Don’t need a bag to carry he just let it burn

    D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
C 	  	    G
Roll on down the road
D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
Em
Cause he’s gotta long way to go
G 	  	  	  	     C 	        G
He’s headed to the place where the sun always shining
G 	  	     C 	            G
Ain’t got no water and he ain’t concerned

    D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
C 	  	   G
Roll on down the road
D 	  	 
He’s gotta roll on
Em
And he ain’t got far to go
