Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound

CAPO 2nd Fret 

       G
It's a long and dusty road
       C       C/B   Am
It's a hot and heavy load
        D                         G
And the folks I meet ain't always kind
         G
Some are bad and some are good
              C        C/B       Am
And some have done the best they could
          D                           G
Some have tried to ease my trouble in mind
     C               D                G                Em
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
C                D                G
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound 
 
          G
I've been wandering through this land
     C         C/B    Am
Just doin' the best I can
D                                  G          
Trying to find what I was meant to do
        G
And the people that I see
        C       C/B    Am
Look as worried as can be
       D                             G         
And it looks like they are wanderin’ too
     C               D                G                Em
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
C                D                G
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound 

      G 
But I had me a buddy back home
       C       C/B    Am
And he started off to roam
D                            G
Now he’s out, gone to Frisco Bay
        G
And sometimes when I've had a few
        C           C/B     Am  
His old voice comes ringin' through
    D                                     G
And yes I'm goin' out to see him some old day
     C               D                G                Em
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
C                D                G
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound 
 
       G
If you see me passin' by
        C           C/B    Am
And you sit and you wonder why
        D                             G
And you wish that you were a rambler, too
          G
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor
        C      C/B     Am
Lace'em up and bar the door
           D                              G
Thank your stars for the roof that's over you
     C               D                G                Em
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
C                D                G
