DIn Yorkshire near RothDerhamBm, he had been on the ramble
DWeary of travelingD, heBm sat down to rest
By the foot of yon? mountain
EmLays a clear flowing fountain
DWith bread and coldD water he Bmhimself didD refresh Bm D Bm
DWith the night fasDt apBmproaching, to the woods he resorted
DWith woodbine aDnd iBmvy his bed for to make
But he dreamt about sighing
EmLamenting and crying
DGo home to your famDily and raBmmbling forsDake Bm D Bm
D'Twas the fifth day ofD NovembeBmr, I've reason to remember
DWhen first he arrived Dhome to Bmhis family and friends
And they did stand so astounded
EmSurprised and dumbfounded
DTo see such a stranDger onBmce more in Dtheir sigBmht D Bm
DAnd his children come arDound himBm with their prittle prattling stories
DWith their prittle prattling stDoriesBm to drive care away
And he's as happy as those

SearchingC back through the friends i've known
SometFimes sad for the way it's grown
RanginCg up and ranging out
And tryFing to change my ways about
There's a plGace in the leaf, a plaGce in the bough
FFound a place for me justC now,
Cjust now, just now
MovCing on with every word
MovFing with all the words I've heard
TurCning the wheel as fast as I can
TurFning the wheel to make me a man
There's a mGan in the moon, a mGan in the sea
Growing strFong, there's a man in me justC now,
Cjust now, just now
No behCind and no before
There's nFo need to worry any more
HappyC then, happy now
There's aFlways a way to get happy somehow
Friend Gon the road, a friend in the home
A beFtter friend now than I've ever known justC now,
Cjust now, just now
SearCching back through the friends I've known
SomFetimes sad for the way it's grown
ChaCnging up and ranging out
And Ftrying to change my ways about
