[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
