                           On a



Verse 1:
-------

     Em
On a long and lonesome highway
  Em
East of Omaha
     D
You can listen to the engine moanin
  D
Out as one note song
     A
You can think about the woman, or the
 A                          Em     '
Girl you knew the night before
     Em
But your thoughts will so be wandering the
 Em
Way they always do
       D
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's
     D
Nothing much to do
      A
And you don't feel much like ridin; you just 
 A                     Em     '
wish the trip was through


Chorus:
------
           D            Em
Say here I am, on the road again
        D               Em
There I am, up on the stage
        D                A
Here I go, playing the star again
     [   C  D    ]     Em     '     '     '
There I go, turn the page


Verse 2:
-------

     Em
You walk into a restaurant,
  Em
Strung out from the road
     D
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're
  D
Shaking off the cold
     A
You pretend it doesn't bother you,
  A                       Em   '
But you just want to explode
     Em
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, 
  Em
Other times you can
       D
All the same 'ole cliche is that a 
  D
Woman or a man
      A
And you always seem out numbered; you 
   A                     Em   '
Don't dare make a stand


Chorus:
------
           D            Em
Say here I am, on the road again
        D               Em
There I am, up on the stage
        D                A
Here I go, playing the star again
     [   C  D    ]     Em     '     '     '
There I go, turn the page


Verse 3:
-------
     Em
Out there in the spotlight, you're 
 Em
a million miles away
     D
Every ounce of energy, you 
 D
try to give away
     A
As the sweat pours out your body, like 
 A                   Em   '
the music that you play
 Em
Later in the evening, as you 
 Em
lie awake in bed
       D
With the echo's of the amplifiers, 
 D
ringin in your head
     A
You smoke the day's last cigarette, 
 A                      Em   '
remembering what you said


Chorus:
------
           D            Em
Say here I am, on the road again
        D               Em
There I am, up on the stage
        D                A
Here I go, playing the star again
     [   C  D    ]     Em
There I go, turn the page


Chorus:
-----
           D            Em
Say here I am, on the road again
        D               Em
There I am, up on the stage
        D                A
Here I go, playing the star again
        C  D          Em
There I go,there I    go turn the page
