|Am7                 |D9         |Am7     |D9    |
   Well last night I slept in the open
|Am7       |D9           |Am7     |D9    |
 Down by a red___wood    tree
|Am7       |D9                  |Am7     |D9   
  Yes last night I slept in the open  
        |Am7                       |D9           |Am7    |D9   |
 Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul__ free

|Am7
 I don't want to go, I don't want to go,
                |D9                 |Am7       |D9      |
I don't want to go back into___ the city (no no no)

 Going nowhere babe
