A Bm A Bm
A Bm
I`m gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E A
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
A Bm
Yes, I`m gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Bm/E Fm
so I will be sure not to give a damn.
B7 E
No one ever loses anybody
Cm7 C7 Fm
but sometimes it`s so hard to get along
D Fm7
I don`t want to hang on to anybody
B7 E7
so before you say you`re leaving, I`ll be gone.
A Bm
Yes, I`m gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E Amaj7
find myself a spot where the sun shines through
A Bm
I`ll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
Bm/E Fm
and get a good head start on forgetting you.
B7 E
You know I`ve never known anybody
Cm7 C7 Fm
who could ever make me feel this way
D Fm7
but no one gets to own anybody
B7 E7
you see, I have good reason when I say:
A Bm
I`m gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E Amaj7
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
A Bm
Yes, I`m gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Bm/E Fm
so I will be sure not to give a damn,
Bm Amaj7
I will be sure not to give a damn,
Bm7 Fm
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
