Verse 1
E
First time I met
old Turnpike Tom
Sittin' in a diner in Bloomington
A
E
He said "Are you going my way?"
He had a sleeping bag and
his hat was torn
And both his thumbs were two feet long
A
From years of hitchin'
E
on the hi- way
G
He said "Mister,
F#m
Bm
won't you give me a ride
G
F#m
I'm a wanted man lookin'
Bm
B
for a place to hide"
E
Oh, we finished the coffee and
A
we got in the car
E
A
We drove off and hadn't gone far
E
B
E
When Tom began to tell me his sad story...
Verse 2
E
He said "Long around 1942
Buddy, I robbed a bank in Kalamazoo
A
Just to get enough money to
E
marry my true darlin'
But she died when she
heard what I had done
And ever since I've been on the run
A
E
Standing on the hi- ways a callin'
G
A callin' mister won't
F#m
Bm
you give me a ride
G
F#m
I'm a wanted man look in'
Bm
B
for a place to hide"
E
Said "Now I'm gettin'
A
old and ready to die
E
A
Too tired to run and too sick to try
E
B
And soon I'll be hitchin' upstairs
E
in the skyway..."
Verse 3
E
[Spoken]
A
E
Oh,
A
E
A
E
play that again...
A
Verse 4
E
He said "I can't pay you for the ride
Just once before I die
A
E
I'd like to do somebody a favor"
And out of his pocket came
a rusty old key
Along with a map and he give 'em to me
A
And said "Here's an end
E
to all your labor"
Verse 5
G
F#m
Bm
"Way down in Greensboro, Tennessee
G
In the back of Rusty's
F#m
Bm
B
Roadside Cabaret
E
A
There's 20, 000 in unmarked green
E
The money I stole that's
A
in the machine
E
B
That hangs on the wall in Rusty's
E
Roadside men's room"
Verse 6
E
So, three nights later at Rusty's door
I had a beer and then I had one more
A
E
Then I headed for the treasure
Just like old Turnpike Tom had said
The machine was under a sign which read
A
E
Sanitary 3- for- a- quarter
G
F#m
Bm
So I took out the key and I broke the lock
G
F#m
There to my bewilderment
Bm
B
and shock
E
I found a sign which read
A
"You've just been had
E
A
In a sanitary way by Turnpike Tom
E
The outlaw with the fast
B
est sense of humor"
Verse 7
E
And if you meet someone
with a troubled mind
Well, just give him the key and
A
feed him the line
E
And tell him his days will soon be better
Verse 8
G
Yes, and mister,
F#m
Bm
you've been taken for a ride
G
F#m
There ain't nothin' but fools
Bm
B
gold here inside
E
Oh, the real gold,
A
that's inside us all
E
A
Remember that you only fall for
E
B
E
Lies and stories when you really want to
