ABmABmABm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
BmA
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
ABm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
BmF#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn.
B7E
No one ever loses anybody
C#mC#7F#m
but sometimes it's so hard to get along
DF#m
I don't want to hang on to anybody
B7E7
so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone.
ABm
Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
BmA
find myself a spot where the sun shines through
ABm
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
BmF#m
and get a good head start on forgetting you.
B7E
You know I've never known anybody
C#mC#7F#m
who could ever make me feel this way
DF#m
but no one gets to own anybody
B7E7
you see, I have good reason when I say:
ABm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
BmA
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
ABm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
BmF#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn,
BmA
I will be sure not to give a damn,
BmF#m
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
