Back Roads

G              D                 
I'll take the backroads home 
       Am7            D7
through the open country side.
Am                   Bm    C    
Letting things slip by.......in 
        D7       G
drawn out time...I'll
            Em               
take the long way home on the 
   Bm                C
backroads of this life
Am7              D7            G
..taking time to see what goes 
      C
by.

Chorus

Bdim       A       A7    
Coming and going, there's no 
               D    E
dividing line. What you're
        B    C           
headed for, someone's left 
     D7   G            Em
behind.....And the shortest road
      Bm          C        Am7   
ain't always the best. Sometimes 
        D7               G
let a backroad take you home

Verse 2

G              D             
A back road is so easy, it just 
     Am7           D7
rambles on and on.

Am                Bm   C         
Take it or leave it,....as rolls 
  D7    G
along.
          Em               Bm 
Drifts through things it cannot 
           C
change, and doesn't
    Am7                        D7 
even try. Wouldn't that be 
               G      C
something for you and I.

Chorus

Bdim       A       A7    
Coming and going, there's no 
               D    E
dividing line. What you're
        B    C           
headed for, someone's left 
     D7   G            Em
behind.....And the shortest road
      Bm          C        Am7   
ain't always the best. Sometimes 
        D7               G
let a backroad take you home

Verse 3

G                 D               
Anyplace you're bound, you'll get 
 Am7          D7
there someday.
Am                    Bm    C   
You're the one who 
            D7       G
chooses...what you see along the 
way.
      Em          Bm           
And when the heartaches seem too 
   C               Am7
much for you to bear.
              D7           
There's a back road winding 
          G      C
everywhere.

Chorus

Bdim       A       A7    
Coming and going, there's no 
               D    E

        B    C

     D7   G            Em
behind.....And the shortest road
      Bm          C        Am7   
ain't always the best. Sometimes 
        D7               G
let a backroad take you home
