Gu[F#]ess it doesn't matter,
As l[B]ong as I can get my head down in the s[E]un.
Hey m[A]amma, please now don't you fr[E]et none,
Don't w[A]orry please don't you forg[E]et.
Hey m[A]amma please don't get ups[E]et none,
Gotta l[F#]eave and find me something b[B]etter.
Hey M[A]amma, things are gonna work out f[E]ine now,
Beli[A]eve me need for you to wr[E]ite.
Hey M[A]amma, things are gonna work out f[E]ine now,
I've got a fr[F#]iend said that she'd inv[B]ite me.[-] [A]
I c[A]ame here in the morning,
And I crept out in the middle of the night.
I gave nobody warning I was leaving,
And felt it was right.
Now I'm [B]off again,
And it s[E]ure is feeling alr[A]ight.
Got a f[A]eeling that I'm leaving
with a ticket and I won't jump a ride
It's no good you believing
that my leaving was a-wrong, it was right
Now I'm [B]off again,
And it s[E]ure is feeling alr[A]ight.

(Drums solo by John Coghlan.....)
[A]I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane,
I gotta jump a ride on a cattle trucking slow train.
I gu[B]ess it doesn't matter,
As l[E]ong as I can get my head down in the s[A]un.
I wr[A]ote a rocking song, gonna sing it at the station,
I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination.
I g[B]uess it doesn't matter,
As l[E]ong as I can get my head down in the sun.
I gu[B]ess it doesn't matter,
As l[E]ong as I can get my head down in the s[A]un.
I g[B]uess it doesn't matter,
As l[E]ong as I can get my head down in the s[A]un.
