Verse 1
                  C         Am                  Em
When I get out of Aberdeen, one of these days
                             C                     Am
Trade in the truck and these fields of green for a ticket on the airways
Em                    C           Am                               Em
I've seen pictures in magazines of skyscrapers and light displays
                   C               A7                  C
And all that I can think about, is getting away today
Chorus
                           Am
Every dollar I have saved
                            D
Every winter I have braved
                                    Em
Every road that I have paved, well
                   C
Leads to somewhere
                           Am
Never was there any doubt
                         D
I would make my way out
                                         Em
I want to know what life's all about and
       D       Em   C  Am    Em
I will get there__
Verse 2
                   C               Am
Like clockwork the sun rises on my farm
Em                      C                     Am
Brightens the hills and wakes the trees, this town has its charm
    Em                            C                  Am
But although when you see it, day in and day out for over twenty years
     Em                  C              A7                            C
What once was a choice becomes obvious, now it's clear, I gotta do it
Chorus
                           Am
Every dollar I have saved
                            D
Every winter I have braved
                                    Em
Every road that I have paved, well
                   C
Leads to somewhere
                           Am
Never was there any doubt
                         D
I would make my way out
                                         Em
I want to know what life's all about and
       D       C
I will get there__

When I get out of Aberdeen, one of these days
    Em                   C                     Am
I'm not quite sure which way I'll lean, but it won't matter anyway
Em            C             Am                                     Em
I'll never forget about you, you and I, we'll meet again someday and
      C                A7      C
All I know is, I can't stay___ here

Every road that I have paved, well
                   C
Leads to somewhere
                           Am
Never was there any doubt
                         D

Every road that I have paved, well
                   C
Leads to somewhere
                           Am
