Bm  x24432    F#m   244222


| 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.

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:
