G D Em C 

[Verse]
G
wherever you’re going
D
i wanna go
Em
wherever you’re heading
C
can you let me know
G
i don’t mind catching up
D
i’m on my way
Em                                                 C
just can’t take the thought of you miles away
G                                                                        D
and i know you’re going somewhere to make a better life
Em                                C
i hope that you find it on the first try
G
and even though it kills me
D
that you have to go
Em
i know it’ll be sadder
C
if you never hit the road
G                                 D
so farewell!

[Chorus]
D                                 Em       C
somebody is gonna miss you
G              D
farewell
                               Em                      C
somebody is gonna wish that you were here
                            G
that somebody is me
                                                 D
i will write to tell you what’s going on
Em                                                        C
but you won’t miss nothing but the same old song
G 
if you don’t mind catching up
D                            Em                                   C
i’ll spend the day telling you stories about a land far away
G
but i know
                                                                          D
and i know you’re going somewhere to make a better life
Em                                          C
i hope that you find it on the first try
G        
and even though it kills me
D
that you have to go
Em
i know it’ll be sadder
C
if you never hit the road

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
G                                           D

Em                             C
try to hold back my tears
G                                       D

G                                        D
