  A                           
  Bm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

  Bm/
  E                                
  A
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am

  A                        
  Bm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream

  Bm/
  E                     
  F#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn.


  B7                   
  E
No one ever loses anybody
    
  C#m7              
  C#7          
  F#m
but sometimes it's so hard to get along

  D                             
  F#m7
I don't want to hang on to anybody
     
  B7                                   
  E7
so before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone.

         
  A                       
  Bm
Yes, I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

  Bm/
  E                         
  Amaj7
find myself a spot where the sun shines through
     
  A                              
  Bm
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus

  Bm/
  E                            
  F#m
and get a good head start on forgetting you.

    
  B7                       
  E
You know I've never known anybody

  C#m7                   
  C#7       
  F#m
who could ever make me feel this way

  D                         
  F#m7
but no one gets to own anybody
    
  B7                             
  E7
you see, I have good reason when I say:


  A                           
  Bm
I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

  Bm/
  E                                
  Amaj7
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am

  A                        
  Bm
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold rocky stream

  Bm/
  E                     
  F#m
so I will be sure not to give a damn,
  
  Bm                  
  Amaj7
I will be sure not to give a damn,

  Bm7                      
  F#m
I want to be sure not to give a damn.
