   Em        C       D  Dsus4 Cadd9     Em     C      ���� �D �B7
I chase your every footstep, ���������and I follow every whim

   Em        C       D  Dsus4 Cadd9     Em    � �C       ������D �B7         
When you call the tune I�m ready, ����to strike up the battle hymn

My lady of the meadows, ����������������my comber of the beach

You�ve thrown the stick for your dog�s trick,

but it�s floating out of reach

[choruS]

        C      D    G               F                  Em
The long road is a rainbow and the pot of gold lies there

      C    D                    Gsus2
So slip the chain and I�m off again

        C            D
You�ll find my everywhere

            Cadd9
�cause I�m a Rover

As the robin craves the summer to hide his smock of red
I need the pillow of your hair in which to hide my head
I�m simple in my sadness, resourceful in remorse
Now, I�m down straining at the lead holding up a windward course

Strip me from the bundle of balloons at every fair
Colorful and carefree, designed to make you stare
But I�m lost and I�m losing the thread that holds me down
Now, I�m up hot and rising in the lights in every town
