Intro 1

Far across

Verse 1
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
the Mississippi and out on the open plains
D D 
 
In an Ok lahoma cow town
Em Em 
 
where the sky begins to rain
Am Am 
 
In a dusty run- down honky tonk
C C 
 
sits a drifting tumbleweed
D D 
 
Thumbing through some magazine
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
that he  can't even read
Am Am 
 

Verse 2
Now tumbleweed remembers how the
C C 
 
west was won and lost
D D 
 
The homestead act and the dust bowl,
Em Em 
 
E E 
 
everybody paid the cost
Am Am 
 
And the great white father promised
C C 
 
to treat his children all the same
D D 
 
Back when Indian territory was
Em Em 
 
E E 
 
Oklahoma's name

Verse 3
E E 
 
F F 
 
Oh tumbleweed keep rollin',
C C 
 
he just roams from town to town
D D 
 
It ain't easy for a half- breed kid to
E E 
 
try and settle down
F F 
 
Tumbleweed keep rollin',
C C 
 
he can't find no place to rest
D D 
 
Yeah the desert wind blows tumbleweed
Em Em 
 
like some spirit of the west
Am Am

C C 
 
heals tap in time to an old flat top guitar
D D 
 
And he's a  guitar local hero and
Em Em 
 
E E 
 
he sings straight from the heart
Am Am 
 
And his tip jar just a jungle of
C C 
 
worn old dollar bills
D D 
 
He makes his rent and grocery in
Em Em 
 
E E 
 
the loc al bar and grill
Am Am 
 

Verse 5
When he starts to picking that old guitar
C C 
 
you know the people turn and stare
D D 
 
When he starts to sing the songs he wrote
Em Em 
 
E E 
 
wells there's magic in the air
Am Am 
 
'Cause his song can heal your wounded heart,
C C 
 
he can set you spirit free

He can raise you hopes to be
E E 
 
the very best that you can be

E E 
 
to try and settle down
Em Em 
 
F F 
 
Tumbleweed keep rollin',

he can't find no place to rest

So if you cross the Mississippi,

you head out on the open plain

And you pass through Oklahoma and

Em Em 
 
the sky begins to rain
E E 
 
Am Am 
 
And you feeling kind of rootless,
C C 
 
G G 
 
you can't find no place to rest
D D 
 
Just remember tumbleweed,
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
he's the spirit of the west
C C
