Bridge:

Dm7    Bb      Dm7  Bb    
Birds roostin' in a tree, 

C           G           C     A7
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves

Dm7                     Gm7
That's how it oughta to be;

B7                              Fm    A7
I pick up, too, when the spirit moves me.

Cross the river, 'round the bend, 

  D     D6   D7     D   D6   D7
"Hello stranger!" "So long friend!"

G      G6  G7    G      G6      G7    
There's a voice in the lonesome wind 

 D9          A7     Fdim   B7
That keeps whis - p'ring, "Roam!"

     A7   Em7      G      A7    
I'm going where a welcome mat is,   

Em7             G/B  A7
No matter where that is,

       G  G/F# Em7 Cdim A7 Cdim G  Em7  D    D6  D7
'Cause an - y place I  hang my hat is home.



It's no secret what I think of Susannah McCorkle -- explanation enough for why this one was included. You owe it to yourself to listen to this one first -- buy it and listen would be my recommendation -- because the bridge is very non-standard.
