I Play The Road

	  		


I play the road 
G       A              D 
And the highway is our song 
          G              D     
And every city's like the same three chords 
     Em           A                         D  A7sus4 D 
Been helping us along when the story's told  
        G                  D 
And the crowd has come and gone 
G               D         A                 D 
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 

      G         G7 
Every exit is a season, 
      Em          D 
Every signal is a beacon 
        G                G7 
And the wind, it carries me 
       Em          A 
And it eases up my load 
      G             G7 
Everyday I drag the turns 
      Em           D 
Every candle still burns 
          G             G7 
And every lesson I have learned 
          Em     G7 Em D  
Brings us closer to the crowd 


                G 
I play the road 
G       A              D 
And the highway is our song 
          G              D     
And every city's like the same three chords 
     Em           A                         D  A7sus4  D 
Been helping us along when the story's told  
        G                  D 
And the crowd has come and gone 
G               D         A                 D 
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 



         G             G7 
Well the bus it is our steeple, 
   Em               D 
It brings us to the people 
    G                  G7 
And they will be there waiting 
Em                   A 
Dancing young and old 
          G              G7 
And every one of us gets tired 
          Em            D 
But every one remains inspired 
          G         G7 
And every one of us require 
        Em      G7     Em  D 
To keep picking through our souls 



                G 
I play the road 
G       A              D 
And the highway is our song 
          G              D     
And every city's like the same three chords 
     Em           A                         D  A7sus4  D

G               D         A                 D 
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 



           G                  A 
She says, "Daddy where do you go 
         D        Dmaj7     D6 
When you leave me all these nights 
       Em                               A  G 
With a suitcase and guitar in your hand? 
G              A                  D    Dmaj7 D6    
Kissing me and mom goodbye with a tear and a smile 
Em            
Where do you go 
      G            A   A    B   B  
Daddy where do you go?" 

 
                A 
I play the road 
G       B              E 
And this highway is our song 
          A              E     
And every city's like the same three chords 
     F#           B                         E  B  E 
Been helping us along when the story's told  
        A                  E 
And the crowd has come and gone 
A               E         B                 E 
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home 
A               E 
Shaking off the miles 
                 G7 
(Shaking off the miles) 
            A 
(Mile after mile) 
           B 
Mile after mile 
                 A    Am E 
Baby, I'm coming home
