verse:

(main riff x3)
Takes the time to stay one place
Though his clothes aren't finest lace
Read the lines on a tramps face

(Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A)


C          G               A              B
Taking his time, just like you, just like me
C         G        B
Wandering so fancy free
C             G           A           B
Searching for love in the call of the wild
C          G           B
Travelling lost like a child



verse:

(main riff x3)
Law has missed him every day
Doesn't need it anyway
Life is the next meal away

(Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A)

(main riff x3)
A lost woman long ago
Does she miss him? does he know?
Does it matter in the snow?

(Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A)


C          G               A              B
Taking his time, just like you, just like me
C         G        B
Wandering so fancy free
C             G           A           B
Searching for love in the call of the wild
C          G           B
Travelling lost like a child
