On My Way
words and music Ben Kweller
G D G D
I want to kill this man, but he turned around and ran
C D C D
I'll kill him with karate that I learned in Japan
G D G D
He wouldn't see my face, I would never leave a trace
C D C D
No, I wouldn't use a bullet cause a bullet's a disgrace
G Bm C Bm
Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a murdering man
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way, tonight I'm on my way
G D G D
There's this drawer that I know in a house up the road
C D C D
That's full of things that are easily sold.
G D G D
When they go out of town I could go and snoop around
C D C D
And make myself rich off the things that I found.
G Bm C Bm
Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a stealing man
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way. Tonight I'm on my way.
G D G D
I was sitting on the bleacher staring at the speaker,
C D C D
Reading his lips but I could not understand.
G D G D
So I opened up my ears and clearly I could hear
C D C D
This detailed story all about a grain of sand.
G Bm C Bm
Aw, mom, I always dreamt of being a good listener
C G C G
So tonight I'm on my way. Tonight I'm on my way.
G D G D
There's this kid you gotta meet. He lives across the street.
C D C D
He's got spirit and heart. We're ten years apart.
G D G D
He is up for anything. He can hang with anyone.
C D C D
He still likes the things we used to think were fun.
G Bm C Bm
Aw, mom, I never thought that I could have a friend
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way. Tonight I'm on my way.
G D G D
I'm in love with someone who's as pretty as a flower.
C D C D
Her life gives me power, so I'm buyin' her a ring.
G D G D
She makes hats with her hands. She is such an artist.
C D C D
I'm her biggest fan and I'm teaching her to sing
G Bm C Bm
Aw, mom, I never thought that I could love no one
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way. Tonight I'm on my way.
C (D?) G C G
Oh, tonight, I’m on my way.

song.

Only pay attention to the tab for the two verses where I notate G-intro, A/Cmaj7/D-intro, etc.
Where the line stops after the underscore, that's where the [G-intro] ends as a measure.

And the [G] meditations of our [C] hearts
Be [G] acceptable in thy [C] sight [stop]

I saw there wasn't a tab for "Watching the Wheels", which is a great song, and I didn't know how to tab it,
so I snuck it in the comments section. I figured the most traffic would be through "Imagine". I also have a
version of "Imagine" that I will post soon.

First, thanks for tabbing this song. All the lyrics are correct and you're very close to perfection. I will
talk about three sections. The intro, verses, and chorus. Man of Peace is half correct. You only use G in
the intro.
So the intro goes:
Dsus2-F#m-Gm
To play a Dsus2 just play a normal D. Take your middle finger off. That's a Dsus2.
The verses are tabbed pretty well. The lyrics are correct. The verse chords go like this:
Dsus2-D-F#m-Bm (2Xs)
E-Asus
Do that whole thing twice. There's your verse. (Asus is an open A5--A5 is a power chord on the second [A]
string--I like the Asus sound while muting the top [E] string).
On all three choruses [sic], the last lyric is "And there ain't no way that you take it away". The chords go:
F#m-Bm
Dsus2-D-F#m-Bm (2Xs)
E Dsus2-D-F#m-Gm (2Xs)
"And there ain't no way that you take it away___________
The second chorus is perfect except for the last lyric, and add an E chord after the last D.
The third chorus is right until the outro. It goes:
E Dsus2-D-F#m-Gm Dsus2-D-F#m-Gm Dsus2-D-F#m-Gm (2X) D
"And there ain't no way that you take it away___________ ...take it away
