  			A  Bm  A  Bm 
 
A                           Bm 
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road 
Bm/E                                A 
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am 
A                        Bm 
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream 
Bm/E                     F#m 
so I will be sure not to give a damn. 
 
B7                   E 
No one ever loses anybody 
    C#m7              C#7          F#m 
but sometimes it's so hard to get along 
D                             F#m7 
I don't want to hang on to anybody 
     B7                                   E7 
so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone. 
 
         A                       Bm 
Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road 
Bm/E                         Amaj7 
find myself a spot where the sun shines through 
     A                              Bm 
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus 
Bm/E                            F#m 
and get a good head start on forgetting you. 
 
    B7                       E 
You know I've never known anybody 
C#m7                   C#7       F#m 
who could ever make me feel this way 
D                         F#m7 
but no one gets to own anybody 
    B7                             E7 
you see, I have good reason when I say: 
 
A                           Bm 
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road 
Bm/E                                Amaj7 
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am 
A                        Bm 
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream 
Bm/E                     F#m 
so I will be sure not to give a damn, 
  Bm                  Amaj7 
I will be sure not to give a damn, 
Bm7                      F#m 
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
