The Road-Vocal Few 

CAPO 3


VERSE

C
I was driving back west through the patches of fog 

             Am 
We had the brights turned on and we listened to songs 

F                                 G                     C
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be.

C
You were back at home you were working a job 

                Am 
and you were hangin out nights with your friends at the bar. 

F                                      G                       C
You didn’t know it then but you were right where you needed to be.

VERSE

I was driving back west through the patches of fog 
We had the brights turned on and we listened to songs 
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be.
You were back at home you were working a job 
and you were hanging out nights with your friends at the bar. 
You didn’t know it then but you were right where you needed to be.

CHORUS 
      F                                    C 
When all you have is what’s inside your pocket, 

    Am                     F            G 
and all your dreams seem stuck on the shelf. 

          F                                   C    Am 
Well you best prepare the way for change is comin’. 

        F                 G                  C
Cuz the road will always take you somewhere else.

VERSE

I was waking up to the sound of the raindrops 
while you while you were in the southeast sleepin in truck stops.
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be. 
You were making friends with people I’d never meet 
and I was prayin to God that your band would succeed. 
I didn’t’ know it then but you were right where you needed to be.

CHORUS (variation) 

When all you have is what’s inside your pocket 
and all your dreams seem stuck up on the shelf, 
you best prepare the way for change is coming, yes it is. 

        F                G                  Am 
Oh the road will always take you somewhere else. 

          F                G
Yeah the road will always take you somewhere. 

BRIDGE

F        G  Am  C              G         F
Don’t forget all you’ve ever wanted is yours

F        G Am  C              G         F           G
Don’t forget all you’ve ever wanted is yours. It’s yours.
   
         F                          C
Well the east coast is busy and the west coast is wild. 

     Am              F                G 
The south keeps it steady while the north rolls around. 

       F                               C                 Am
And somewhere in the middle there’s a town that no one knows 

       F           G                 Am 
where every local kid comes out to every local show. 

        F                 G
Oh the road will always take you somewhere.






Misunderstood-Vocal Few 

CAPO 4

G
It is harder than you know


To draw water from a stone

                      Em   C 
I’ve been trying for years

                      G
Still there’s nobody home

G
You pick my brain like I got something


Good to say about why we’re here

          Em    C               G
It’ll be years before I can answer

CHORUS
              C
Remember that I

         D                    Em    G
I never claimed to know the answers

  C               D                G
I’ve just been searching for the good

    C          D                  Em    G
Because at my best I’m a filthy sinner

C           D               G
And at my worst I’m misunderstood

VERSE

It is harder than you know
To keep shouldering false hope
I cant carry your fears,
I’m not the one you should ask here
You pick my brain like I got something
Good to say about “what’s it mean to exist?”
But I can’t say anything
because I’m not existing yet

CHORUS

I never claimed to have the answers
I’ve just been searching for the good
Because at my best I’m a filthy sinner
And at my worst I’m misunderstood

CHORUS
C         D                   Em       G 
I never claimed to have the answers

C              D               G
I have been searching for the good

C              D                 Em   D    C
because at my best I’m a wayward sinning fool

    C             D              Em 
So don’t misunderstand me telling you

    C        D               G
To not misunderstand misunderstood





Good Enough-Vocal Few 

Tuning: Standard 

CAPO 4

VERSE
Em                  G               Em        D        C 
I wade through the empty days until you come back in sight

Em                G                     Em         D         C 
I count all the different ways but you still wont say it’s right‘

Em                    G                       Em    D       C 
Cause I am all the selfish things that you'd never want me for

Em                     G                   Em     D         C 
I sail close but you drift away ‘til your hearts ready for more

PRECHORUS
        G          D                Em 
I won't go; no I'm not like them at all

CHORUS
                  C            G
All that you’ve learned from love

               Em     D 
Is you weren’t good enough

                     C         G
But all that you’ve heard is wrong

                  Em      D
You know you’re strong enough

VERSE

I keep all my hurt locked up in a buried treasure chest
Any man who has had a glimpse made a mess of it and left‘
Cause I am all the selfish things that you'd never love me for
I was close now I’m far away trying to find the other shore

PRECHORUS

But don’t go, no I’m not like them at all

BRIDGE
C          Em            G                 D
Don’t give up, don’t go cold, you’re close to moving on

C                            Em              G                       D 
If it don’t hurt, then it’s wrong, so let’s hurt for awhile ‘til we feel 
 
                C      Em 
something, oh come on

VERSE

Hearts race in the salty air as you put your feet on sand
Like a dream you’re in front of me with your treasure chest in hand
Don’t leave, I will show everything






Simple and Free-Vocal Few 

CAPO 4

VERSE

G 
My path in life was chosen

Em 
In a flurry of emotion

C                                            G     D
You know the music seemed to sweep me off my feet

G 
And I didn’t have much choice

Em 
But to follow her clear voice

C                                             G    D
To try to find the things she had in store for me


PRECHORUS 

Em                                 C 
I could have been a scientist but I don’t mean to whine

                G                               D 
It’s just that I am so much more than what you see

Em                                   C 
I could have been a million things to gain respect from kings and queens

        G 
But I chose a minstrels life

               D 
Simple and free simple and free simple and free

CHORUS

G                                     B
I don’t mind the fact these musical notes

                                     Em
Haunt my mind and resonate from my bones

                            C
Simple and free is what I said

                           G  B  Em B 
Simple and free ‘til I’m dead

VERSE

My path in life was chosen in a flurry of emotion
You know the spirit seemed to take me by the hand
And I didn’t have much choice but to listen for his voice
And try to help my boy as he became a man

PRECHORUS

I could have been a novelist
Unwinding worlds that don’t exist or a hundred other things I do believe
I could have written you a symphony
Become the queen of everything
But I chose a minstrels life
Simple and free simple and free simple and free

CHORUS

INTERLUDE
C    G    D 

BRIDGE
(Chorus Chords) 

I lost myself inside these musical notes
The melody swells and takes me home
I’ve never been alone
I will always find rest
Simple and free ‘til I’m dead




One Day Soon-Vocal Few

CAPO 3

INTRO

G C G C

VERSE

C                                  Em
I watch her breathing while she sleeps

C                         Em
And then a feeling buries me

Am                          D
I’d die to see her walk to me

             Em
To smile in disbelief

                           C
At the ground beneath her feet

VERSE
                              
She cracks a smile and shows her teeth
It’s been a year, she looks like me                          
I’d die to teach her how to pray
To give to God each day
To know it when I say

CHORUS

G                  C
You’ll never be alone

G                 C 
You’ll never be alone

      Em                             C                             
Even after all of your innocence is gone

G                 C 
You’ll never be alone

VERSE

One day soon she’ll say
Daddy, I love a boy and he loves me
And I’ll watch her leave and then I’ll pray
And give to God that day
And hope her heart is safe 
A few weeks later she’ll come home
Crying that boy had let her go 
He wasn’t ready yet to be
The kind of man she needs
So I hold her close and sing, softly

CHORUS

You’ll never be alone
You’ll never be alone
Even as your heart is breaking don’t lose hope
You’ll never be alone

VERSE 

One day soon, she’ll walk the aisle
My little girl, my precious child
Beautiful woman, veiled and sweet
I’ll smile in disbelief
As the tears roll down my cheek
And then I’ll whisper, softly

CHORUS 




Wild I Am-Vocal Few 

CAPO 4

VERSE

G                               D
I’ve been walking around this town

           G                                                 D
And I’ve decided I don’t ever wanna be another face in the crowd

            G                  D
I’ve been talking to people I meet

                     G
Saying, “I’ve been thinking about leaving and I’m taking next to nothing 

      D
with me”

PRECHORUS

          G                                         D
And I know that public opinion says that I should settle down

               B                             A
But there’s something inside my heart that fights against the crowd

CHORUS

G          B   D 
And it is wild

G      D   A 
Wild I Am

VERSE

I’ve been thinking of things I don’t know
And I’m not about to settle with the present if my heart wants to go
You’ve got your convictions and I’ve got mine
But if you’re trying to tame the lion in me it’ll be a waste of your time

PRECHORUS

And I know that public opinion says to be a realist
But if you tame the beast in me, then I would not exist

CHORUS

Cause I am wild
Wild, wild, I am

BRIDGE

B
I always find it hard to ascertain

G
Why it is that I feel this way

Em
When my whole life is in disarray

A
The future makes me feel alive

B
I’ve always known the romantic side

G
Of not knowing where I’ll sleep at night

Em 
I can’t stand when my hands are tied

A                                G
My bed the ground, my roof the sky

CHORUS 

Wild, wild, wild, I am
