Bm         A              Bm 
Take up my boot heels and I'll be on my way 
G                A      Bm 
Walkin' down the lonely road 
Bm        A              Bm 
No one to tell me if I'm right or if I'm wrong 
G         A              Bm 
No one to share my heavy load 

Bm          A             Bm 
I'm goin' a new way and I won't be comin' back 
G               A       Bm 
I ain't got the time to spare 
Bm       A                Bm 
I took a few days just to find a track 
G            A                 Bm 
That's gonna lead me who knows where 

Bm                    A 
Drifting on there's a tumbleweed 
     E            Bm 
Over desert, over snow 
Bm                  A 
Hear the call and I feel the need 
           E          G     A  Bm 
When those northwinds start to run 

Bm         A              Bm 
Take up my boot heels and I'll be on my way 
G                A      Bm 
Walkin' down the lonely road 
Bm        A              Bm 
No one to tell me if I'm right or if I'm wrong 
G         A              Bm 
No one to share my heavy load 

Bm                    A 
Drifting on there's a tumbleweed 
     E            Bm 
Over desert, over snow 
Bm                  A 
Hear the call and I feel the need 
           E          G     A  Bm 
When those northwinds start to run
