Like a restless leave
in the autumn breeze
once, i was a tumbleweed
Like a rollin stone
cold and all alone
living for the day my dream would come
 
I never cared for school
Or any golden rule
and Papa used to alway say I was a useless fool
So I left my home
to show 'em they was wrong
and headed out on the road signin my song
 
Then one sunny day
the man he looked my way
and everything that I dreamed of it was real
Money, girls and cars
big long cigars
and i caught the first plane home so papa could see

When I went home
to show em they was wrong
all that i found was his to-tombstone
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong
 
first i got lost then i got found,
but the ones that i loved are in the ground
papa I only wish you could see me now
 
 
take a listen papa:

If there's any way
that you could hear what I say
papa I never mean to be alone
all the money, girls and cars
and all the world's long cigars
papa i just want you to know they couldn't take your place
 
When I went home
to show em they was wrong
all that i found was his to-tombstone
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong
 
first i got lost then i got found,
but the ones that i loved are in the ground
papa I only wish you could see me now

you got the wording wrong a lot. like in verse two, it's, "Papa i never ment to do you wrong." and what's a to-tombstone it's, " all i found was their two-tombstone." Other than that it was pretty good. this song rocks

why didn't say it was a half step down on each string i think it is because I tried the first two chords and you wrote tham a minor second to high. You should mention the tuning is EbAbDbGbBbEb.
