Tumbleweed

E F# E
V 1: Waltz with the wind
Its what she does best
He’s her only friend
Spins her in his arms til she lays to rest

E G# C# A

Pre: And she is so misunderstood
About the paths that she chooses
But rolling with the Wind
E G# C# Am
Is your only choice when you got no roots

E F# E
V 2 Brush of juniper tangled in her hair
Symbol of someone who lives without a care
For the vagabond, it’s treasure for her cart
Its meaning locked away deep down in her heart.

E G# C# A
Pre: Scrapes from the road or a barbwire fence
Marks of honor of a life well lived
Leaving pieces of herself behind
We won’t forget her soon but she won’t be looking back.

C# G# A E
Chorus: And oh, it’s not easy being free
But for a Tumbleweed
C# G# A Am
It’s the only way she can be

Two lines of E F# E

V3: Dusty smile and sunburned cheeks
Who needs water when you’ve got the sunshine
She’s been on the road for weeks and weeks
Rolling from town to another

E G# C# A
Hard to say when the journey ends
She’s the only one who says when its over
Living life with fair-weather friends
E G# C# Am
But only the Wind really knows her

C# G# A E
Chorus: And oh, it’s not easy being free
But for a Tumbleweed
C# G# A Am
It’s the only way she can be

A B E F#m
Bridge: So don’t go saying she’s just no good
Honey she’s just doing the best she could
Until you’ve walked a mile in her shoes
Don’t go throwing stones

C# G# A E
Chorus (twice) And oh, it’s not easy being free
But for a Tumbleweed
C# G# A E
It’s the only way she can be
