[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
D
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one long song
A Em
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
D
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
A Em
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
D Em
Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playin' the star again
C D Em
There I go. Turn the page
[Verse 2]
Em
So you walk into this restaurant, all strung out from the road
D
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shakin' off the cold
A Em
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Em
Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
D
All the same old cliches, is it woman? Is it man?
A Em
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
Make your stand
[Chorus]
D Em
Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playin' the star again
C D Em
There I go. Turn the page
[Verse 3]
Em
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
D
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away
A Em
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
Em
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
D
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
A Em
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said
(What she said)
[Interlude]
D Em D Em
D Em C D Em
[Solo]
D Em D Em
D Em C D Em
[Chorus]
D Em
Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
And here I go, playin' the star again
C D Em
There I go. Turn the page
C D Em
There I go. Turn that page
C D
There I go-o-o, yeah yeah
Em
There I go-o, yeah yeah
[Outro]
D Em
D Em
There I go, yeah
D Em
Here I go, yeah
C D Em
There I go-o-o There I go-o
(And I'm gone)
