Am                            G F
Sailed across the open water
F
Slow danced along the border
E
Tasted all, the local daughters
Am              F        G
Treat 'em with captain's orders

Another night, sleeping rough
You think you're hard and you think you're tough
So you say that you're made of the same stuff
No time for sadness and no time for love

Chorus:
     F                 Am
The life of a vagabond
 G                     F
Searching for a fool's gold
         F               Am
With the eyes of a gypsy
         G                F
And the life of a rebel soul
          F                 Am
Sing the words to a love song
 G                        F
Searching for a heart of gold
         F                G               Am
And the life of a vagabond is an endless road

Saddle up for the ride
Too much fun too little time
Every day and every night
I take like a thief and give back like a child

Some say, I've gone astray
It's too late for a boring stray
I will never remember your name
Come over here let me show you the way

Chorus

Dsus2               Am
With the moon as my witness,
    Am               E
the open road is my weakness, ohhh

Chorus

And the life of a vagabond is an endless road
