Verse 
C                         F             C 
 Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat. 
C                 G            C            G            C      F  C 
 People stood and stared  then closed their doors  as he passed. 
C                              F                  C 
 He strolled the empty street; kids banged on tin cans. 
C                 G      C      G                       C    F  C 
 Then the panting dogs began to bark  as the roadsinger sang. 
 
Am                G            D  F                C 
 Where do you go  where do you go  when hearts are closed? 
F                 Am               G                     G7 
 When a friend be-comes a stranger  nobody wants to know. 
Am                G            D  F                     C 
 Where do you go  where do you go  when the world turns dark  
F                 Am                 G        F         C       F  C 
 And the light of truth is blown out  and the roads are blocked? 

  
Verse 
C                      F                        C 
 He stopped by a stall  between the barrels and sacks  
C                      G       C      G              C    F  C 
 a child's face peeped out and gave a smile  and ran back. 
C                     F            C 
 Behind a misty glass  on a window-pane  
C                G      C       G            C    F  C 
 a little finger drew a perfect heart  and a name. 
  
Am                G            D  F                       C 
 Where do you go  where do you go  in a world filled with fright  
F       Am                G                   G7 
 Only a song to warm you   through the night? 
Am                G            D  F               C 
 Where do you go  where do you go  after lies are told  
F                 Am                 G        F        C    F  C 
 And the light of truth is blown out  and the night is cold?

Verse 
C                   F           C 
 Roadsinger rode on  to another land  
C                  G       C                G         C     F  C 
 Though the people spoke a different tongue; it under-stand. 
C                             F                    C 
 They showed him how to share  and took him by the hand  
C               G       C      G                   C    F  C 
 Showed him the path to Heaven  through the desert sand. 

Am                G            D   F              C 
 Where do you go  where do you go   to find happi-ness  
F           Am                 G      G7 
 In a world filled with hatred  tears? 
Am                G            D  F          C 
 Where do you go  where do you go  if no one cares  
F          Am           G  F            C      F  C 
 And every-body's lost      looking for theirs.
