HEADING FOR THE LIGHT- The Traveling Wilburys



G  A  C  D 

  G                                           A

I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands

        C                         D

I was lost in the night with no sight of you

         C                        D

And at times it was so blue and lonely

                  G   C D

Heading for the light



Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails

I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns

And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm

Heading for the light



CHORUS #1:

riff  Em      D             C                        G

     Ooh, I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me

riff Em            D                    C

     And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned

    A                            G

I didn't know the mess I was in



My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway

I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change

And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm

Heading for the light ...SOLO



CHORUS #2:

Ooh, my hands were tied by jokers and fools on either side

But still I kept on till the worst had gone

Now I see the hole I was in



REPEAT THIRD VERSE



I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back

All the dreams are coming true as I think of you

Now there's nothing in the way to stop me

Heading for the light

      C                             D                        G

Now there's nothing in the way to stop me, heading for the light

 A  C  G
