Song Notes
==========
Although the bassist plays a 5-string bass the song is playable on a
standard 4-string; no action takes place on the B-string at all. To
make the tab more accessible to the majority of players I opted to simply
remove the B-string from the tab entirely. Let me know if you think this
is bad practice.

(And the road becomes my bride)
And the road becomes my bride!
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

(And the earth becomes my throne)
And the earth becomes my throne!
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one
And my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
