  C                       G
Miss Beverly Jones had a PHD in Physics
         C                             C7
And She went to town to look for some work
  F                                         Ab
Everyplace she applied, said that she was qualified
         C              Am
To be a secretary or a clerk
         F                               Ab
And the word got out on the day she was born
              C                            Am
But she was twenty-five years getting the news
              D
And had the "I don't know where I'm going
               G             G7
but I'm going nowhere in a hurry" blues


[Verse II]

 C              G
My friend Fred felt lucky last Tuesday
    C                   F          C
And he took himself on out to the track
                     F              Ab
He was armed with a hot tip, and a hundred dollar bill
      C                           C7
But, that fool had to hitch hike back
     F                                Ab
The horse that he bet on was leading all the way
         C                     Am
Then he tossed off one of his shoes
      D
That horse had the " I don't know where I going
               G            G7     C
but I'm going nowhere in a hurry" blues


[Verse III]

                  G
And It's I don't know where I'm going
            C                          C7
Don't know how long this Journey will last
                  G
And It's I don't know where I'm going
               C                     C7
The future is one big mirror of the past
               F                              Ab
And I've been loosing so long it feels like winning
 C                               C7
Kick me again and I'll come up grinning
 C                            Am
All my time I spend stsnding still
       D                              G
In a world that's spinning round so fast


[Verse IV]

N.C.                     C        F
And it was on a Sunday morning
                       C        C7
About a hundred years ago
     F                      Ab
The message come without a warning
                           C    C7
Thought everybody told him so
     F                       Ab
The last thing that General Custer said
         C                     Am
when he looked up and saw the Sioux
    D
Was I got the " I don't know there I going
               G            G7
but I'm going nowhere in a hurry too
                       F                      Ab
A fatal dose of the " I don't know where I'm going
               C                  Am
but I'm going nowhere in a hurry blues
 F
The I don't know where i'm going but I'm going
