This is my cover of the Song "Rainbow Road" by Steve Goodman.
Lyrics and chords below:

C - F - C - F


C Am
I was born a poor, poor man
Em C
And all of my life I've had hard working hands
F Fm
But I sang my song as I carried my load
C F C G
'Cause I had a dream about Rainbow, Rainbow road

C Am
Then one day my chance came along
Em C
A man heard me singing and playing these old songs
F
He bought me fine clothes
Fm
and paid the money I owed
C F C G
Sent me on my way down Rainbow, Rainbow road

Am G
And then one night, a man with a knife
F C
Pushed me 'til I had to take his life
F Fm
Fast as falling all my friends were gone
C F Am G
That old judge traded me a sentence for a song

C Am
Just living with this ball and chain
Em C
I had to wear a number 'fore they ever heard my name
F Fm
Like the dream I'm growing old
C F Am G
But we still sing about Rainbow, Rainbow road
F C F C
Rainbow Road, Rainbow Road, Rainbow Road.
