E B
Well I climbed the seven summits
C#m B
And I swam the seven seas
C#m A
But the road I must travel
E
Its end I cannot see
I fought in the jungles
And I fought in the streets
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I fought in the streets
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Once I had a reason
Don't know what it could be
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I walked the empty desert
And I was burned in the heat
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I crossed the frozen wasteland
And in the bitter cold did freeze
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will knock on every door
For I do not have a key
And the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
They shot a man in Soho
Couldn't guess his age
I found his empty journal
I filled up every page
I called up my state senator
They said he wasn't there
The secretary took my name
And man she sounded scared
So I counted my misfortunes
I added up the blame
I picked through all the garbage
I checked off all the names
I read in the newspaper
They'd questioned all my friends
They hoped that they could find me
Before I struck again
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
So when thirsty I will drink
When hungry I will steal
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
So tonight I walk in anger
With worn shoes on my feet
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will sing to myself
That I'm gonna be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see

With Lyrics:
E B
Well I climbed the seven summits
C#m B
And I swam the seven seas
C#m A
But the road I must travel
E
Its end I cannot see
B
I fought in the jungles
C#m B
And I fought in the streets
C#m A
But the road I must travel
E
Its end I cannot see
Once I had a reason
Don't know what it could be
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Chorus: Na na na na na....
I walked the empty desert
And I was burned in the heat
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
I crossed the frozen wasteland
And in the bitter cold did freeze
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will knock on every door
For I do not have a key
And the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Chorus
They shot a man in Soho
Couldn't guess his age
I found his empty journal
I filled up every page
I called up my state senator
They said he wasn't there
The secretary took my name
And man she sounded scared
So I counted my misfortunes
I added up the blame
I picked through all the garbage
I checked off all the names
I read in the newspaper
They'd questioned all my friends
They hoped that they could my ass
Before I struck again
So I sang to myself
That I want to be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
So when thirsty I will drink
When hungry I will steal
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
So tonight I walk in anger
With worn shoes on my feet
And the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
And I will sing to myself
That I'm gonna be free
But the road I must travel
Its end I cannot see
Chorus
There's a sign along the highway
But it's too dark now to read

Well I climbed seven summits and I swam the seven seas,
Am G
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
C G
Well I fought in the jungles and I fought in the streets,
F G
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
Now once I had a reason, don™t know what it could be
And the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
Well I sang to myself that I want to be free,
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see. (Na, Na, Na¦)
I walked the empty desert and was burned in the heat,
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
I crossed the frozen wasteland and the bitter cold did freeze,
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see
Now I will knock on every door for I do not have a key,
And the road I must travel its end I cannot see
Well I sang to myself that I want to be free,
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see
(Na, Na, Na¦¦€¦) Sing¦
They shot a man in Soho, couldn™t guess his age,
I found his empty journal, I filled up every page.
Called up my state senator, they said he wasn™t there,
The secretary took my name and man she sounded scared,
So I counted my misfortunes I added up the blame,
I picked through all the garbage, I checked off all the names,
I read in the newspaper, they questioned my old friends,
They hoped that they could find me (my ass) before I struck again.
So I sang to myself that I want to be free,
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
So when thirsty I will drink and when hungry I will steal
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
So tonight I walk in anger with worn shoes on my feet,
And the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
And I will sing to myself that I™m going to be free,
But the road I must travel its end I cannot see.
(Na, Na, Na¦.)
There™s a sign along the highway but it™s too dark now to read¦
