Free and easy, that's my style;
D D6 D7 D D6 D7
Howdydo me, watch me smile,
G G6 G7 G G6 G7
But fare-the-well me after a while
D9 A7 Fdim B7
'Cause I gotta roam,
G G/F# Em7 Cdim A7 Cdim G Em7 D D6
And any place I hang my hat is home.

Sweetenin' water, cherry wine

Thank you kindly, suits me fine.

Kansas City, Caroline,

That's my honeycomb
G G/F# Em7 Cdim A7 Cdim G Em7 D D6 D7
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.
Bridge:
Dm7 Bb Dm7 Bb
Birds roostin' in a tree,
C G C A7
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
Dm7 Gm7
That's how it oughta to be;

Cross the river, 'round the bend,
D D6 D7 D D6 D7
'Hello stranger!' 'So long friend!'
G G6 G7 G G6 G7
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
D9 A7 Fdim B7
That keeps whisp'ring, 'Roam!'
A7 Em7 G A7
I'm going where a welcome mat is,
Em7 G/B A7
No matter where that is,
G G/F# Em7 Cdim A7 Cdim G Em7 D D6
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
