Country Roads, Ryan Bingham
Note: The harp overdub is hard (for me) to cut through and I don't know enough
about it to say how it affects what you hear. I would have sworn that I heard
an A-minor in that main sequence, but now I think it was the heavy distortion
added to the harp. Anybody got another idea? I don't do this very often and
don't always trust my ear so if you got a better plan, let's see it. And
somebody should add the tab for the harp. Great song, fun to play,
a real stomper in my list.
Intro: C G F F G C x 2
V 1
C G F
Do you really think you know,
F G C
Exactly where I stand,
C G F
Or did I just let you down,
F G C
When you found I was just a poor man,
C G F
I might of took a few wrong turns,
F G C
Down a few wrong roads,
C G F
Wound up in a few wrong towns,
F G C
Where nobody cares or goes.
Chorus:
C G F (listen for the quick note
picking on the F chord -- nice touch)
It ain't that I can't see,
C G F
Or find my way home,
C G F
It's just that I like to breath,
F
Out on country roads.
C G F F G C (only one progression after first chorus
-- that changes later)
V 2
I've never been much on down town,
Or cared for a place to stay,
I know I'll never wear a crown,
I'll never be a king of slaves,
Wash my hands in the rain,
I've spent my time with the whiskey,
I'll never give up on change,
Or give a f**k ("damn" on album) if you will ever miss me.
Chorus: repeat -- follow chorus with C G F F G C (twice)
V 3
I know I'll never stick around.
I'll never lose track of time,
Or worry about a little old town,
Or what I might of left behind,
I'll just let the sun shine down,
I'll just let them big wheels roll,
Keep on running around,
Them old country roads.
Chorus: repeat -- follow chorus with C G F F G C (x4 then fade)
