[Verse 1]
 
A                   C#m
I've been wand'rin' early and late,
F#            F#7         Bm7    E
From New York City to the Golden Gate.
E7           AM7  Bm     C#m       D      E  E7  A
And it don't look like, I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A                         C#m
My daddy was an engineer, my brother drives a hack,
F#                     F#7                Bm7       E
My sister takes in laundry while the baby balls the jack.
E7           AM7  Bm     C#m       D      E  E7  A
And it don't look like, I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A                      C#m
I've been in the army, I've worked on a farm,
F#                  F#7         Bm7          E
And all I've got to show is the muscle in my arm.
E7           AM7  Bm     C#m       D      E  E7  A
And it don't look like, I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
A               C#m
My ma, she died when I was young,
F#                   F#7      Bm7    E
My daddy took to stealin' and he got hung.
E7           AM7  Bm     C#m       D      E  E7  A
And it don't look like, I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
A                    C#m
Snakes in the ocean, eels in the sea,
F#                   F#7        Bm7         E
I let a red-headed woman make a fool out of me.
E7           AM7  Bm     C#m       D      E  E7  A
And it don't look like, I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
[Verse 6]
 
      A                   C#m
Well, I've been wand'rin' early and late,
F#                F#7         Bm7    E
From the New York City to the Golden Gate.
E7           AM7  Bm     C#m       D      E  E7  C#m  Bm  E
And it don't look like, I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
E7           AM7  Bm     C#m       D      E  E7  A
No, it don't look like, I'll ever stop my wanderin'.

Nice job buenzify! You’ve given me a great song to interject into my playlist that will break the tempo of my performance. Your song will make a performer look multi-talented and capable of a wider range of genre.
