      [Verse 1] 
      C                    C/B                Am
Well, I am looking, I am searching, I have found
                        F                        G
Near the ground, my soul, myself, beneath this trail
             C               C/B
There's no other place I'd rather be
             Am              F
Can't you see me out here walking
        G
In the rain and hail
 C              C/B               Am
The purpose of life, it seems to me
               F                  G
Is not to take yourself too seriously
C                               C/B
I wouldn't want to be an old man
                   Am
Sitting in an office building someplace
F                               G
Far away, with worry on my face

[Chorus]
              F                               C
Well you can take my car, my stereo, my little money
           F                     C
Leave me with nothing but my trail family
          F                                        Am
Take my dress up clothes, my cheap cologne, my college loans
Am
I don't mind
G
I don't mind

[Verse 2]
C                         C/B
Well if that tax man comes looking
         Am                                 F
I'm at ten thousand feet cooking up some oatmeal
            G
Or some rice and beans
     C          C/B                            Am
I worship the spirit who doesn't just look down
                               F
He looks up and through and all around
                               G
Find him in the rocks and trees
                 C              C/B
Cause there's no reason to pray
             Am                      F
When you wake up every day to the sunrise
       G
Over Cito Peak
               C                 C/B           Am
So find some ground, lace up your boots, start walking
                    F
And you will find reason
                     G
Enough reason to believe

[Chorus]
                 F                           C
Well you can drop your worries at the parking lot
           F                           C
Or way down in the city where the sun burns hot
            F                  Am
Although civilization is a nice place to visit
                  G
I wouldn't want to live there

[Verse 4]
           C           C/B            Am
And just one final paragraph of advice
                       F
Don't burn yourself out
        G
Be as I am
            C            C/B
It's not enough to fight for the land
         Am                     F
It's even more important to enjoy it while you can
        G
While it's still here

[Chorus]
        F                                   C
So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around
               F                            C
Ramble out yonder, explore the woods, encounter a grizz
               F                            Am
Climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep
                        G
That yet sweet, lucid air

[Verse 5]
     C           C/B                    Am                            F
Sit quiet for a while, contemplate the precious stillness, that mystery
       G
And awesome space
      C           C/B                    Am                                      F
Enjoy yourself, keep your brain in your head, and your head attached to your body
G
Body active and alive
C                       C/B
And I promise you this much
    Am                           F                 G
I promise you this one sweet victory, over our enemies

[Chorus]
             F                               C
Over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a box
           F                      C
And their eyes hypnotized by calculators
         F                       C      Am
I promise you this one sweet victory
                             G       C
You'll outlive the bastards!
