[Verse]
        Am7             C            G            F 
Well, I met him in Minnesota. He was dark and overcast,
     Am7                C 
with long grey hair and eyes that stared
 G 
through me like I was glass.
  F                     Am7 
I asked, "Where are you going to?"
   G                             F 
He said, "I'm the wind, I'm just blowin' through".
        Am7          C                  G *
Then he lit up a cigarette and began to talk:
         Am7                     C 
"See the doctors told me that my body won't hold me,
   G                 F 
my lungs are turning black.
     Am7                       C 
Been Lucky Strike's fool since I was at school,
          G 
now there ain't no turning back.
     F                 Am7            G                 F 
They can't tell me how long I've got, maybe months, but maybe not.
       Am7                  C             G 
So I'm taking this bike and riding to New York.

[Chorus]
         Dm           Am7                     G 
'Cause I wanna see my grand-daughter one last time
        Dm                 Am7 
Want to hold her close and feel her tiny
 C                G 
Heartbeat next to mine
      Dm                 Am7 
Wanna see my son and the man he's become
 C                         G 
Tell him I'm sorry for the things I've done
        F                 Am7     G 
And I'd do it if I had to walk
        F                    G             Am7 
Oh, I'm taking this bike and riding to New York

[Verse]
            Am7           C            G           F 
Through the forests of Wisconsin, that I knew as a boy
         Am7           C                G 
Past the skyline of Chicago, 'round the lakes of Illinois
  F                Am7 
I lay my head in a motel bed
        G                    F 
When my back get sore and my eyes turn red
    Am7           C                   G 
And listen to the trucks roll past my door
            Am7        C          G                    Am7 
Through the fields of Ohio as the sunshine paints them gold
 Am7                 C           G 
I'll run just like a river runs, rapid, quick and cold
 F                 Am7           G                F 
Fly through Pennsylvania and the Jersey turn-pike tolls
 Am7              C            G 
I won't stop 'til I get to New York

[Chorus]
         Dm           Am7                G 
'Cause I wanna see my grand-son one last time
      Dm           Am7           C               G 
Wanna see his eyes sparkling and stare back into mine
       Dm                     Am7 
Now my time is short, I wanna see my daughter
 C                         G 
Tell her I'm sorry for the things I taught her
        F                 Am7       G 
And I'd do it if I had to walk
        F                        G             Am7 
Oh, I'm taking this bike and I'm riding to New York

[Verse]
    Dm               Am7            G 
And I'd go up to the churchyard one last time
    Dm                   Am7 
Lay flowers down for the woman who gave me
    C                G 
The best years of my life
        F                 Am7      G 
And I'd do it if I had to walk
          F                 Am7      G 
Yeah, I'd do it if I had to walk
    F                    G             Am7 
I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
