Workin On A Song

Todd Snider


Tom: G

G
My first day in Nashville
C                     G
Didn’t seem like much of one
G                           D
Drinkin till I fallen asleep out in the sun
G                           C             G
Workin on a song I guess I’m still workin on
G                           D              G
It’s called “where will I be now that I’m gone”

[Verse 2]
G                                    C   G
when the idea first came to me I was only 22
G                                 D
at 25 I realized it was all that I could do
G
To make it to the end
C                 G
But then I guess I always knew
G
if I never finished I would
D          G
Die trying to

[Pre-Chorus]
D
last night I thought I had it
G
right here in my hotel
D                        G
It faded out the further asleep that I fell
D                                                   G
When I woke up this morning I was more than twice my age
C
And I left myself a note right here
D
on another empty page

[Chorus]
G
Where will I go
C            G
Now that I’m gone
G                                  D
They said maybe you’ve been chasing that song too long
G                              C                  G
It’s turned into a song about a song you’re working on
G                                 D
I mean it’d dumb man, cmon let it go

[Verse 3]
G                                            C                G
but you know giving up a dream is just like making one come true
G                                              D
It’s easy to sit around talking about but it’s hard to go out and do
G                                 C                G
but for this one last question I’ll give up on this song
G                       D        G
where will I go now that I’m gone

[Outro]
G             C
now that I’m gone
C             G
Now that I’m gone
G
Where will I go
D            G
Now that I’m gone
