Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Follow the pattern below and do a fast up and

down strum on the "A" chord where I have placed the (x5).

 Let me tell you baby - If you want to pin me down

Better get your hammer, girl - and nail me to the ground

 'Cause you won't find no grass stains

On the bottom of my feet

 The only home I've ever known - is out there on the street.

  You call me insane - Honey, That's my middle name

  And I don't care which way the wind will blow

  'Cause I don't know - So down the road I go.

Musical turn around

 You see I tried to settle down - Not too long ago

You can lock my body up - But you can't calm my soul

 I don't want to hurt you - Or put you on the shelf

 But my daddy told me all my life

You've got to be yourself.

Repeat the chorus

Long instrumental

 I'm sure there's lots of guys out there

Who've learned to tow the line

 Compared to them my life may look a wreck

 But girl, you've been to college

So you ahould know by now

 And if you can't understand me

What the hell do you expect

 I'm giving you fair warning - I'm gonna say goodbye

And when I'm walking out the door

Don't want to hear you cry

 There's so much highway out there

That I ain't never seen

 And all I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline.

Repeat the chorus

 Tag: Down the road I go

  I'll see you around

  'Cause I'm leaving town

  Yeah, yeah, yeahhh (fades out).
