I've Been Everywhere
Recorded by Hank Snow
Written by Geoff Mack
[C] I was totin' my pack
Along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi
With a high and canvas covered load
"If you're [F] going to Winnemucca, Mack
With me you can ride."
So I [C] climbed into the cab
And then I settled down inside
He [G] asked me if I'd seen a road
With so much dust and sand
And I said, [C] [P]
"Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land."
(Chorus)
[C] I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
[F] 'Cross the deserts bare, man
I've [C] breathed the mountain air, man
[G] Of travel, I've had my share, man
[C] I've been [G] every-[C] where.
