A Bm A Bm
A Bm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E A
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
A Bm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Bm/E F#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn.
B7 E
No one ever loses anybody
C#m7 C#7 F#m
but sometimes it's so hard to get along
D F#m7
I don't want to hang on to anybody
B7 E7
so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone.
A Bm
Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E Amaj7
find myself a spot where the sun shines through
A Bm
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
Bm/E F#m
and get a good head start on forgetting you.
B7 E
You know I've never known anybody
C#m7 C#7 F#m
who could ever make me feel this way
D F#m7
but no one gets to own anybody
B7 E7
you see, I have good reason when I say:
A Bm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Bm/E Amaj7
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
A Bm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream
Bm/E F#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn,
Bm Amaj7
I will be sure not to give a damn,
Bm7 F#m
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
