1^st verse :

 

     Em                        Em

On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha

         D                             D

You can listen to the engine, moaning out his one note song

         A                             A                             Em      Em

You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

         Em                                  Em

And your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do

            D                                D

When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do

    A                                      A                           Em    Em

You don't feel much like riding', you just wish the trip was through

 

 

 

Chorus :

        D          Em

Here I am, on the road again

       D      Em

Here I am, up on the stage

        D           A

Here I go, playing star again

        C - D  -      Em

There I go,  turn the page

 

 

 

2^nd Verse :

       Em                       Em

So you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road

        D                                 D

And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold

    A                                      A                   Em    Em

You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

     Em                         Em

Most times you can here 'em talk, other times you can't

        D                            D

All the same 'old cliches: is that a woman or a man?

        A                            A

And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand

 

 

Chorus :

        D          Em

Here I am, on the road again

       D      Em

Here I am, up on the stage

        D           A

Here I go, playing star again

        C - D  -      Em

There I go,  turn the page

 

 

 

 

3^rd verse :

Em                                 Em

Out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away

      D                    D

Every ounce of energy, you try to give away

       A                                   A                   Em   Em

As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play

 

 

Bridge :

Em>let ring                  Em>let ring

Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed

         D>let ring               D>let ring

With the echos of the amplifiers, ringing in your head

D>let ring                          D>let ring                 Em>let ring    Em

You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said

 

 

 

 

 

Chorus :

        D          Em

Here I am, on the road again

       D      Em

Here I am, up on the stage

        D           A

Here I go, playing star again

        C - D  -      Em

There I go,  turn the page

        C - D  -      Em

There I go,  turn the page

        C          D              Em      Em

There I go oh yeah, there I go yeah

D  Em        D Em       D    Em

     There I go, Here I go

        C      D        Em>let ring

There I go ohhh, here I go...
