          Em                 A        Em               A 
There's a black wind blowing... a typhoon on the rise... 
Em             A    Em             A 
Pummeling rain... murderous skies! 
          Em            A            Em           A 
I'm gonna take my books... I'm gonna wear my coat... 
          Em            A               Em             A 
I'm gonna find my scarf... and wrap it around my throat... 
             C                           A 
And you can come with me... through the driving snow 
            G       G/F#  Em          A 
We're gonna ride on up to... Medicine Bow 

Em A 

          Em          A       Em                  A 
Well I spent too long... just stuck on the shore... 
          Em             A               Em          A 
There's a man in my head... but he isn't me anymore... 
           Em            A      Em             A 
I'm gonna find me a ship... stowaway on a boat... 
           Em           D         C           Bm          A 
I'm gonna burn all the words and letters and cards that I ever wrote 
             C                         A 
And you can sail with me... where the current flows 
            G       G/F#  Em          A 
We're gonna move on up to... Medicine Bow 

Em A 

    C                           A 
I'm gonna change my colours... cancel my things... 
 C                    A 
Stop my squawking... grow some wings! 
       Em             A         Em           A 
Well I will not sleep... and I will not rest... 
        Em        A          Em              A 
I will put my soul... and my will to the test... 
           Em              A            Em             A 
I'm gonna tug at my tether... I'm gonna tear at my lead... 
           Em               A          Em             A 
I'm gonna test my knowledge... in the field of deeds... 
             C                         A 
And you can run with me... as fast as we can go 
G        G/F#    Em          A 
Over the hill to... Medicine Bow 
               Em          A
