Intro:
[C]
Verse 1:
[C] Roadsinger came to town; [F]long cape and [C]hat.
C G C G C F, C
People stood and stared, then closed their doors, as he passed.
[C] He strolled the empty street; [F]kids banged on tin [C]cans.
C G C G C F, C
Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the roadsinger sang.
Chorus 1:
[Am] Where do you go, [G]where do you [D]go, [F] when hearts are [C]closed?
[F] When a friend be-[Am]comes a stranger, [G] nobody wants to know.[G7]
[Am] Where do you go, [G]where do you [D]go, [F] when the world turns [C]dark,
F Am G F C F, C
And the light of truth is blown out, and the roads are blocked?
Verse 2:
[C] He stopped by a stall, [F] between the barrels and [C]sacks,
C G C G C F, C
A child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back.
[C] Behind a misty glass,[F] on a window-[C]pane,
C G C G C F, C
A little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name.
Chorus 2:
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/y/yusuf_islam/roadsinger_crd.html )
[Am] Where do you go, [G]where do you [D]go, [F] in a world filled with [C]fright,
[F] Only a [Am]song to warm you, [G] through the night?[G7]
[Am] Where do you go, [G]where do you [D]go, [F] after lies are [C]told,
F Am G F C F, C
And the light of truth is blown out, and the night is cold?

Verse 3:
[C] Roadsinger rode on, [F] to another [C]land,
C G C G C F, C
Though the people spoke a different tongue; it under-stand.
[C] They showed him how to share, [F] and took him by the [C]hand,
C G C G C F, C
Showed him the path to Heaven, through the desert sand.
Chorus 3:
[Am] Where do you go, [G]where do you [D]go, [F] to find happi-[C]ness,
[F] In a world [Am]filled with hatred, [G] tears?[G7]
[Am] Where do you go, [G]where do you [D]go, [F] if no one [C]cares,
F Am G F C F, C
And every-body's lost, Looking for theirs.
