INTRO:
G Em G Em G Em G Em VERSE:
G Em Maybe, baby, I'm crazy
G C But I'm down on my knees
G Em I want you to go
D C Come and go with me please VERSE:
G Em This life you're living, honey
G C You die day at a time
G Em There's something that calls
D C Make up your mind CHORUS:
G D C D G Ba-a-by, let's watch all the
D C D rivers flow
G D C D G Ba-by, you gotta get young
D C D Before you get old
G D C D Come on, come on
G D C Lighten up your load
D G There ain't nothin'
Em C But you and me
D G G C D G G C D G And an open road VERSE;
G Em 'Cause we were born to wander
G C Oh, we were not born to lose
G Em I must follow distant thunder
D C Or I'll get the blues VERSE:
G Em And the lightning flashing
Continues after the ad
G C Reveals a dream in your eyes
G Em And the message it sends
D C Is hard to deny CHORUS:
G D C D G Ba-a-by, baby let's watch all
D C D the rivers flow
G D C D G Ba-a-by, you're gonna get young
D C D Before you get old
G D C D Out in the distance
G D C Let the four winds blow
D G There ain't nothin'
Em C But you and me
D G G C D G G C D And the open road BDA K:
C It's a highway trance
G G Babe you've fallen under
C Love forever
D On a road that never ends, oh, oh, oh VERSE:
G Em Border town in Dakota
G C Where the Missouri runs wide
G Em We'll cross the piggyback bridge there
D C Reach the other side VERSE:
G Em Listen to the ghost dance
G C In the valley of gold
G Em Where the ones who understand
D Respect the buffalo
C Woh, oh, oh, oh CHORUS:
G D C D G Ba-a-by, let's watch all the
D C D rivers flow
G D C D G Ba-a-by, you gotta get young
D C D Before you get old
G D C D Come on, come on
G D C Lighten up your load
D G There ain't nothin'
Em C But you and me
D G There ain't nothin'
Em C But you and me
D G There ain't nothin'
Em C But you and me
D G G And the open road OUTRO:
