Em G C Em twice

Em                        G        C              G
Ransom no one from the gallows and rest beside no streams
        Em                   G              C                G   
For the dead will kill their own and you'll find no peace in dreams
       C           G              Am              G
We set fire to the foxes and they flew around the town
            C                                  D
They went a-running thru the fields, burnt the whole place to the ground


Chorus 1:
            C               G            C      G   
And they're looking for the goose laying golden eggs
          G            C                 D 
There's a long line of birds and they're all f**kin dead
        Am          C       G                 D/F#
I gotta find my way home, I gotta find my way home
           Am             C           Em
If I gotta crawl, I gotta find my way home


Put your shoulder to the wheel, won't you push, and push again
Whoever dug this ditch, well you know they ain't a friend
And they're looking for the horses that wouldn't wear a bit
I ain't a-saying a word if the saddle doesn't fit

Chorus 2:
But there's somethin bout the night that puts my mind at ease
It's the same right now as it has ever been
But I gotta find my way home, oh I gotta find my way home
If I gotta crawl, I'm gonna find my way home

Harmonica


I gotta find my way home, I gotta find my way home
If I gotta crawl, I gotta find my way home
