[Verse 2] I [G] left my home in [B7] Georgia, [C] Headed for the 'Frisco [A] Bay. [G] 'Cause I've had nothing to [B7] live for, And look like [C] nothing's gonna come my [A] way.

[Chorus] [A] I`m walking in the rain [F#m] Tears are falling and I feel the pain [A] Wishing you were here by me [F#m] To end this misery.
I [A] wonder I wa-wa-wa-wa- [F#m] wonder? [A] Why? Wha, wha, wha, wha, [F#m] why, she ran away? And I [D] wonder, where she will [E7] stay-yay My little [A] runaway [D] run, run, run, run, [A] runaway [E7]
