Tonality
Em
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
D
you can listen to the engine, moaninʼ out his one-note song
AEm
you can think about the woman or the girl you knew
Em
the night before
Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
D
when youʼre ridinʼ sixteen hours and thereʼs nothinʼ much to do
AEm
you donʼt feel much like ridinʼ, you just wish
Em
the trip was through
Chorus:
DEm
See here I am, on the road again
DEm
There I am, up on the stage
DA
Here I go, playinʼ star again
CDEm
There I go, turn the page
Em
Well you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
D
and you feel the eyes upon you, as youʼre shakinʼ off the cold
AEm
you pretend it doesnʼt bother you, but you just want to explode
Em
Most times you canʼt hear ʼem talk, other times you can
D
all the same old cliches, "Is that a woman or a man?"
AEm
and you always seem outnumbered, you donʼt dare make a stand
Chorus:
DEm
Here I am, on the road again
DEm
There I am, up on the stage
DA
Here I go, playinʼ star again
CDEm
There I go, turn the page
Em
Out there in the spotlight, youʼre a million miles away
D
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
AEm
and 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 from the amplifiers ringinʼ in your head
AEm
you smoke the dayʼs last cigarette, rememberinʼ what she said
Chorus:
DEm
Here I am, on the road again
DEm
There I am, up on the stage
DA
Here I go, playinʼ star again
CDEm
There I go, turn the page
DEm
Here I am, on the road again
DEm
There I am, up on the stage
DA
Here I go, playinʼ star again
CDEm
There I go, there I go
