[Verse 1]
E                    A       E    D
Walking through the high dry grass
E          A           D      A
Pushing my way though slow
E        A               E             D
Yellow belly black snake sleeping on a red rock
E                  A        D      A
waiting for the stranger to go
E           A            E         D
Sugar train stops at the crossing
E            A         D     A
Cane cockies cursing below
E          A             E          D          E        A    D     A
Bad storm coming. Better run to the top of the mountain

E           A           E       D
Blacksmith fires up the bellows
E            A          D     A
Cane cutters burning to load
E              A      E         D          E        A    D   A
Workers of the world run to the top of the mountain

[Verse 3]
E                  A          F#m            D    A
Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat
E                  A          F#m            D    A
Down cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheets
E                 A           F#m           D     A
Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space
E           A       F#m      D    A
Down the road at a familiar place
E          A     F#m D A      E       A         F#m
Across the wilderness     Out further than the bush
         D A    E   A  F#m
I will follow you
         D  A   E   A  F#m
I will follow you
         D  A   C#m
I will follow you
