G  Bm  F  Am  (repeat)

G        Bm        F           Am

 i asked you for a ride; i was lonely

    C         Em        G       D

and hoping to see you before i left town

G             Bm         F

you said "i'm sorry, i'd like to

   Am     C           Em          G         D

if only i had had the time; maybe next time around"

    C            D         C          D

and i walked for miles and carried my bags

   C               D            C           D

on streets with no sidewalks in search of a ride

       C        D            C              D

it was me and a baby ruth, a chewy chunk of chocolate truth

    C             D           Am         G     Bm  F  Am

and here from the bus i would like to say thanks

  G       Bm  F  Am

thank you



i had imagined a breakfast of coffee and muffins

maybe some cinnamon toast

and if i believed i would gain your attendance

i could have provided the holy host

i walked for miles in search of a ride

on streets with no sidewalks and carried my bags

it was me and a baby ruth, a chewy chunk of chocolate truth

and here from the bus i would like to say thanks

thank you

thanks a lot

thank you not



two seats behind me, reclining

an angel is peering at me now from under a book

she catches me staring and smiles to the window

again i'm in love and with only a look

       F(2)          C(2)       A        

and it must be, it's true, i am free

        F(2)             C(2)         A

and last night I burned; you know who spoke to me

     F(2)      C(2)             A

say "welcome the solitude, it's your family tree"

[12th fret harmonics]                        F(2)    F(3)

                and you would have been only  a   heaven 

C  D  C  D  C  D  D

G  Bm  F  Am



at noon i will fly to my city, my prison 

and you will be forever gone from my life 

and soon i'll deny any lingering vision

of me in some catalogue and you as my wife 

'cause i walked for miles in search of a ride 

on streets with no sidewalks and steel muddy banks

it was me and a baby ruth, a chewy chunk of chocolate truth 

and here from the bus, i'd just like to say thanks 

thank you



      G                          Bm

i was walking down the road, carrying in a heavy load 

        F                               Am

feeling and believing that i might have been a prince toad

    G      Bm  F  Am   C  D  C  D  C  D  G
