Standard Tuning: E A D G B e
After seeing the Intro Tab by Sam393 I thought I would add to his doing.
I listened to the song over and over I came up with
2 possible ways to play the intro.
Intro 1: Play a kinda modified Asus2 Chord 1 strum and then play an
open (B string) followed by a (B on the 2nd fret) as follows:
e|--x---------------------------|
B|--x--0-2--0-2--0-2------------|
G|--2---------------------------|-repeat 2x
D|--2---------------------------|
A|--0---------------------------|
E|--x---------------------------|
or
Intro 2:
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----0-2--0-2--0-2-----------|
G|-----------------------------|-repeat 2x
D|-----------------------------|
A|--0--------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|

A-A7-Bm7-E
A
June fell for Johnny on the Forth of July,
A
As the fireworks popped in the summer sky.
Bm
With a spark in her eye, she just there an' stared,
E
As his face lit up to the rocket's red glare.
A
An' by September, she'd asked him for a weddiing band.
A
How could she know he was a ramblin' man.
Bm7
He walked out the door in the dead of the night.
E
An' a sleepy voice whispered, as he turned out the light:
Chorus:
A
"Where you gonna go?
Bm7
"What you gonna do when you get there?
E A
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
A
"Oh, you're never gonna find,
A7 Bm7
"Someone who loves you like I do.
E
"If you get tired of runnin',
A
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
Repeat Verse:
He called up to tell her he missed her a lot.
Texas Panhandle was as far as he got.
He'd run out money, he'd run of luck:
He'd run out of gas in his pick-up truck.
"Hitch a ride, catch a train or a Greyhound bus,
"'Cause there's a baby on the way an' that makes three of us.
"An' I need you here beside me, I can't go it alone,"
She told him one more time then she hung up the 'phone,
Repeat Chorus:
Sayin': "Where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You know, you're never gonna find,
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"When you get tired of runnin',
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
C#m Bm7
An' the years just seemed to roll on by them.
A E
She missed him more an' more every day.
C#m or Ab5 Bm or F#m
An' that boy grew up to look and act just like him,
Bm7 A----E
An' she knew some day soon he'd be old enough to fly away.
Repeat Chorus:
An' she'd say: "Baby, where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You know, you're never gonna find,
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"When you get tired of runnin',
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
Bm7
"If you ever get tired of runnin',
E A
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
