Me And This Road Chords

(ver. 1)
Chris Knight
[Verse]
       G                D/F#            Em                Cadd9
An old county road runs by my house and ends on the river bank
    G       D/F#           Cadd9
In '73 they shut the ferry down
G                          D/F#
Back up the road there's a church and a store
       Em                      Cadd9
With a bench full of lying old men
       G                D/F#             Cadd9
In the middle of a wide spot they call a town
 
[Verse]
           G                           D/F#              Em                  Cadd9
I'm just a young man living to make me old plowing these fields by the river road
      G                   D/F#                 Cadd9
Where hopes dreams and my granddaddy lived and died
           G                  D/F#               Em               Cadd9
They go as far as my eyes can see but they ain't far enough for me
       G                        D/F#              Cadd9
When I drive to the river and I look at the other side
 
[Chorus]
 
            G   Cadd9           G      Cadd9
Me and this road, we ain't been nowhere
            G   Cadd9       D
As far as I know this whole world's just a county fair
    Cadd9               D              Em             Cadd9
But somewhere there's a bridge that'll take us out of here
G               D/F#              Cadd9
Free as a river flows me and this road
 
[Verse]
      G                      D/F#                 Em                Cadd9
We'll find a long stretch of blacktop where there ain't no dead-end signs
    G                  D/F#             Cadd9
And leave these fences fields and farms behind
          G                D/F#        Em               Cadd9
There's a bigger town on a bigger road fame and fortune I've been told
    G                       D/F#               Cadd9
And across that river we'll search till I find mine
 
[Chorus]
 
            G   Cadd9           G      Cadd9
Me and this road, we ain't been nowhere
            G   Cadd9       D
As far as I know this whole world's just a county fair
    Cadd9               D              Em             Cadd9
But somewhere there's a bridge that'll take us out of here
G               D/F#              Cadd9
Free as a river flows me and this road
 
 
[Verse]
       G                 D/F#         Em                       Cadd9
Well I shook my father's hand now I'm off to find the promised land
    G                  D/F#             Cadd9
And I hope I bring him back a little gold
             G                     D/F#            Em                 Cadd
You know his dream was the same as mine but it got lost somewhere in time
     G           D/F#             Cadd9
In a dusty field along that river road
 
[Chorus]
            G   Cadd9           G      Cadd9
Me and this road, we ain't been nowhere
            G   Cadd9       D
As far as I know this whole world's just a county fair
    Cadd9               D              Em             Cadd9
But somewhere there's a bridge that'll take us out of here
G               D/F#              Cadd9
Free as a river flows me and this road
