D
Out on an open highway
                                    G
Such a lovely day but something's wrong
                                   D
Something, something's got to be wrong, oh oh
(Something surely wrong)

I just left home this morning
This old road keeps rolling on and on
Rollind, rolling on and on
(Rolling, rolling on and on)

A               D
Won't somebody help me?
(Somebody help me)
Somebody help me
(Somebody help me)
Somebody help me
(Somebody help me)

(Never been so lonesome)
(Never been so lonesome)
I've never been lonesome an'
a long way from home
(Never been so lonely)
(Never been so lonesome)
(Never been so lonely)

Something, something's surely wrong
Rolling on and on
Rolling, rolling on and on

Won't somebody help me?

Somebody help me

Somebody help me

Never been so lonesome

Never been so lonesome
