[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F][G][F][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[G]Big
dream girl in a [F]party town
[G]In the quarter with a Mardi
Gras [F]mask
Don't let down
[G]Livin' in a one -room dump
With an alco[F]holic mother
[G]Over the sooty shock [F]that
she ran for her brother
When the [C]stench of Bourbon Street
took her [G]breath away
And her [C]hopes lay unin[D]spired
She would [C]close up shop,
take the [G]rest of the day
Rid[F]ing a [C]bus named De[D]sire
[F]Riding a [C]bus named De[D]sire
Till the [G]end of her life
Back [F]again, [G]scheming away
What she [F]was in
[G]Ready to rinse
Ready [F]to give
[G]Ready to love
Ready [F]to live
She's there by [C]my backside
On [F]the big [G]easy
Look in her [C]hair
Only make you [G]feel [D]tired
But I [C]can dream of an un[F]deluded [G]destiny
Rid[F]ing a [C]bus made de[D]sire
Rid[F]ing a [C]bus made [D]de sire
Of [C]two [F]souls[G]
[Gm][G][F][C][D][F][C][D]
She said I [Am]may not have the kind of [D]talent
That the [Am]life I want to lead re[D]quires
Oh, but [Am]I have a will, I'l[D]l learn a skill
I can [Em]go a long wa[C]y on des[D]ire
I can [Em]go a long wa[C]y
[G]One day here, [F]next day gone
[G]Taking a leap, she'd been [F]planning on
May[G]be New York, may[F]be LA
[G]Maybe Montana, she [F]never did say
She kept [C]her vision to [F]her[G]self
Took [C]off on an American [D]flight
And [C]she ain't been back
[F]As [G]some folks say
She's been [F]riding a [C]bus named de[D]sire
[F]Riding a [C]bus named [D]desire[F][C][D]
[F]Hey[C]
[D]Right now I'm[F] going,
[C]go [D]ing[F] som[C]ewhe[D]re
[G][D][G][G]
[G]You[G]
