[Verse 1]
A                        D         A     A G6/D A   A D A
Way out yonder where the wild wind blows
          F#m         Bm     D         F#m     E
There's a place there lonely fools can go
             A                        D         A    A G6/D A   A D A
Where if you hold your money, it will burn your hand
       F#m      Bm            D     F#m       E
So you buy your ticket to the Shadowland

[Chorus]
         A                 D        A
Down the highway, down the road I'm bound
       Bm          F#m              E
And my heart keeps pounding and the wheels go around
       A                Bm     F#m
It's a hard place for a mortal man
      D                          Bm    F#m     E
And a heart-broke pilgrim in the Shadowland

[Verse 2]
           A                      D       A   A G6/D A   A D A
Yeah, when I was younger, I could hold my own
         F#m      Bm             D        F#m     E
My right hand was thunder and my left was stone
      A                      D        A    A G6/D A   A D A
Now I ain't as handsome as I was back then
       F#m       Bm             D     F#m         E
So I'm taking my chances in the Shadowland

[Chorus]
         A                 D        A
Down the highway, down the road I'm bound
       Bm          F#m              E
And my heart keeps pounding and the wheels go around
       A                Bm     F#m
It's a hard place for a mortal man
      D                          Bm    F#m     E
And a heart-broke pilgrim in the Shadowland

[Verse 3]
            A                     D               A   A G6/D A   A D A
Been down a thousand highways and they're all the same
        F#m   Bm                D       F#m     E
Another empty place where I can hide my shame
              A                    D          A    A G6/D A   A D A
And there's a heartache waiting up around the bend
      F#m      Bm              D     F#m  N.C.
For a lonesome stranger in the Shadowland

         A                 D        A
Down the highway, down the road I'm bound
       Bm          F#m              E
And my heart keeps pounding and the wheels go around
       A                Bm     F#m
It's a hard place for a mortal man
      D                          Bm    F#m
And a heart-broke pilgrim in the Shadowland
