Am Am              C C           G G               F F
Well, I met him in Minnesota. He was dark and overcast,
Am Am C C
with long grey hair and eyes that stared
G G
through me like I was glass.
F F Am Am
I asked, "Where are you going to?"
G G F F
He said, "I'm the wind, I'm just blowin' through".
Am Am C C G G
Then he lit up a cigarette and began to talk:
Am Am C C
"See the doctors told me that my body won't hold me,
G G F F
my lungs are turning black.
Am Am C C
Been Lucky Strike's fool since I was at school,
G G
now there ain't no turning back.
F F Am Am G G F F
They can't tell me how long I've got, maybe months, but maybe not.
Am Am C C G G
So I'm taking this bike and riding to New York.

Dm Dm Am Am G G
'Cause I wanna see my grand-daughter one last time
Dm Dm Am Am
Want to hold her close and feel her tiny
C C G G
Heartbeat next to mine
Dm Dm Am Am
Wanna see my son and the man he's become
C C G G
Tell him I'm sorry for the things I've done
F F Am Am G G
And I'd do it if I had to walk
F F G G Am Am
Oh, I'm taking this bike and riding to New York

Am Am C C G G F F
Through the forests of Wisconsin, that I knew as a boy
Am Am C C G G
Past the skyline of Chicago, 'round the lakes of Illinois
F F Am Am
I lay my head in a motel bed
G G F F
When my back get sore and my eyes turn red
Am Am C C G G
And listen to the trucks roll past my door
Am Am C C G G Am Am
Through the fields of Ohio as the sunshine paints them gold
Am Am C C G G
I'll run just like a river runs, rapid, quick and cold
F F Am Am G G F F
Fly through Pennsylvania and the Jersey turn-pike tolls
Am Am C C G G
I won't stop 'til I get to New York

Dm Dm Am Am G G
'Cause I wanna see my grand-son one last time
Dm Dm Am Am C C G G
Wanna see his eyes sparkling and stare back into mine
Dm Dm Am Am
Now my time is short, I wanna see my daughter
C C G G
Tell her I'm sorry for the things I taught her
F F Am Am G G
And I'd do it if I had to walk
F F G G Am Am
Oh, I'm taking this bike and I'm riding to New York

Dm Dm Am Am G G
And I'd go up to the churchyard one last time
Dm Dm Am Am
Lay flowers down for the woman who gave me
C C G G
The best years of my life
F F Am Am G G
And I'd do it if I had to walk
F F Am Am G G
Yeah, I'd do it if I had to walk
F F G G Am Am
I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
