GC
Black road, Georgia trees
GC
Midnight moon just stay with me
GC
Like a lighthouse in the sky
GC
And let these eighteen wheels fly
DC
I woke up this morning in a Motel Five
DCG
Brokenhearted, I'm gonna drive through the night
CC
Down the open road
I asked her where we stood
She said Johnny this ain't no good
You made the highway your home
And I'm just tired of living alone
So you go your way, and I'll go mine
And maybe one day, you'll find what you're looking for
Down the open road
CC
Down the open road
BRIDGE:
A
I've been down this road many time
CA
And Lord I've tried to find
A
Some peace of heart, some peace of mind
CD
But this road just winds and winds
GCGCAD
There's a crazy lady with high-heeled shoes
AD
She could take away my homesick blues
AD
And lately I feel a little crazy too
AD
Yes I do ma'am, yes I do
ED
Got a double sleeper, I'm hell on wheels
EDA
Come on sweet thing, show me how love feels
DA
Down the open road
DA
Down the open road
DAD
Down the open road
ADGD
Somewhere down the open
A
road
She don't break down, she don't run cold
D
She's heart and soul like a pot of gold
A
She sees the white lines when I'm driving blind
DGDA
A hundred more miles and she's right on time
D
Right on time
ADGDA
She's right on time, right on time (Down the open road)
