Intro: G C x4 Verse 1: G Books on Emerson books on Thoreau Am But all I read was maps of the road C And I was three thousand miles away from you G All the while I was twenty-two G What do you do, and who you are Am The best way for me is to drop out on tour C Well, you were Upstate and to go to school G To secure the roll with your parents
