CAPO I


INTRO:

Em  A  D  C  D

VERSE 1: 
   D                     G                     D        G
Pulled out the driveway past an old tar paper shack
D                        Bm                               Em    A
Standing at her mail box -- an old woman waves as I look back
       G                      Em                A                   D     A     Bm
I'm gonna miss my family and I'll need all the letters that they'll send
      Em                            A                               D
It's gonna be a long time before I travel down this red dirt road again


CHORUS:
                    G       A                              D       Bm
Louisiana red dirt highway --  I've been down a million times
                           Em              A                             D
With the tin barns and the pine trees I'm gonna take 'em with me in my mind
                           G          A                                D      Bm
I'm gonna take'em to the city where a man can make good money so they say
       Em                           A                                  D
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay


VERSE 2:
        D                           G                             D         G
The mudgrips would make their own designs and they'd zig-zag for miles
         D                                    Bm                        Em         A  
And the one lane bridge that runs across the creek that I swan in as a child
      G                       A                            D        Bm
The sawmill was thirty miles away and my daddy brought it wood
    Em                              A                              D
And Mama done the cookin' and the cleanin' and taught us what was good 

CHORUS:
                    G       A                              D       Bm
Louisiana red dirt highway --  I've been down a million times
                           Em              A                             D
With the tin barns and the pine trees I'm gonna take 'em with me in my mind
                           G          A                                D      Bm
I'm gonna take'em to the city where a man can make good money so they say
      Em                            A                                   D        Bm
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay  -- Hey Heyy
      Em                            A                                   D         G
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay
