I Don't Care
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:6th fret
[Intro]
C G F C
F C G
C G F C
F C G C
[Verse]
C G F C
Standing on the corner in the middle of the night
F C G
Begging dollars from people I see
C G F C
Trying to book a ticket on a one way ride
F G C
Up out of these dirty streets
[Chorus]
C G F
And I don't know
C G F
where I'm going no more
C G F
I don't know,
C G C
and I don't care
[Verse]
C G F C
Well the rail-cars running though these streets so fast
F C G
I would jump one if they'd just slow down
C G F C
There's killers on the road so it ain't much chance
F G C
Of me trying and hitching around
C G F C
Ah but if I had a dollar I could find me a game
F C G
And I bet you I could turn it into five
C G F G
And if I had five I'd book a bullet train
F G C
And ride it to the end of the line
[Chorus]
C G F
And I don't know
C G F
where I'm going no more
C G F
I don't know,
C G C
and I don't care
[Bridge]

F C G C
[Verse]
C G F C
Well Chicago, Cinicinatti, New York City, Tucumcari
F C G
Amarillo or Los Angeles
C G F C
Saskatoon, Baton Rouge, Miami, Johnson City
F G C
Or anywhere in between
C G F C
Anywhere but here, anywhere at all
F C G
I'm just looking for a change
C G F C
I don't want to see the sun rising up on
F G C
This dirty little town again
[Chorus]
C G F
And I don't know
C G F
where I'm going no more
C G F
I don't know,
C G C
and I don't care

"I don't know where I'm going no more...
Standing on the corner in the middle of the night, begging dollars from people I see
Trying to book a ticket on a one-way ride up out of these dirty streets
And I don't know where I'm going no more
I don't know, and I don't care
Well the railcars running though these streets so fast, I would jump one if they'd just slow down
There's killers on the road so it ain't much chance of me trying and hitching around
Ah but if I had a dollar, boy, I'd find me a game and I bet you I could turn it into five
And if I had five I'd book a bullet train and ride it to the end of the line
And I don't know where I'm going no more
I don't know, and I don't care
Well Chicago, Cincinnati, New York City, Tucumcari, Amarillo or Los Angeles
Saskatoon, Baton Rouge, Miami, Johnson City, or anywhere in between
Anywhere but here, anywhere at all, I'm just looking for a change
I don't want to see the sun rising up on this dirty little town again
And I don't know where I'm going no more
I don't know, and I don't care
And I don't know where I'm going no more
I don't know, and I don't care
