Intro:
G D/F# Em7C
G D/F# Em7C
G D/F# Em7 C
At night when I'm out riding
G D/F# Em7 C
Along the dark highway
G D/F# Em7 C
I get a feeling inside me
G D/F# Em7 C
To throw all that I have away.
G D/F# Em7 C
And I'll leave all this behind me
G D/F# Em7 C
Like that job that I had in the day
G D/F# Em7 C
All the black dressing soul testing lovers and liars
G D/F# Em7 C
And the speeding tickets I never pay
(Interlude, mostly just strumming these chords:)
C C G D/F# Em7 D/F# G D/F#
G D/F# Em7 C
Do you believe in love at first sight
G D/F# Em7 C
As a matter of fact I do
G D/F# Em7 C
Every time that I open my eyes
G D/F# Em7 C
That saying comes true
G D/F# Em7 C
Cause I see you in the laundromat
G D/F# Em7 C
Black Irish washerwoman in a funeral hat
G D/F# Em7 C
Italian ballerina on an asphalt stage
G D/F# Em7 C
Bleach blond born of a Victorian age
Chorus:
C G D/F# Em7 D/F# G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G D/F# Em7 C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
G D/F# G
as we ride away in the light.
-Solo goes here-
|: G D/F# Em7C :| x3
G D/F# G
G D/F# Em7 C
And if I were to take you by force
G D/F#Em C
And carry you away
G D/F# Em7 C
Back to my bedroom
G D/F# Em7 C
Just for music to play
G D/F# Em7 C
And I'd play you the songs that I've written
G D/F# Em7 C
And the ones that I can't seem to write
G D/F# Em7 C
Maybe you'd know what you're missing
G D/F# Em7 C
Maybe you'd stay past the night
Chorus:
C G D/F# Em7 D/F# G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G D/F# Em7 C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
G D/F# G
as we ride away in the light.
G D/F# Em7 C
My father he built me this backpack
G D/F# Em7 C
Just an inch or two big for real
G D/F# Em7 C
I'll pack my guitar and the smoke from this bar
G D/F# Em7 C
My songs and one hot meal
G D/F# Em7 C
And I'll ride to the west chasing sunsets like gold
G D/F# Em7 C
At dawn I will ride to the east
G D/F# Em7 C
I'll find all the friends that I've lost on the road
G D/F# Em7 C
Maybe then I'll know me some peace
Chorus:
C G D/F# Em7 D/F# G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G D/F# Em7 C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
G D/F# G
as we ride away in the light.
G D/F# Em7 C
There's so much more to this wonderful world
G D/F# Em7 C
Then we are sold on TV
G D/F# Em7 C
So tell me if you are not already dead
G D/F# Em7 C
That you'll come and live it with me
G D/F# Em7 C
Leave your college plans to your one-night stands
G D/F# Em7 C
Your business clothes and the rest
G D/F# Em7 C
There's pleasure enough in your heart and your hands
G D/F# Em7 C
Blue jeans suit you best
Chorus:
C G D/F# Em7 D/F# G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G D/F# Em7 C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
G D/F# G
as we ride away in the light.
G D/F# Em7 C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
G D/F# G
as we ride away in the light.
