Green Lights

D A G A D

[Verse 1]
G              A             D
Here I am back on the road again
 G                  A             
Don't it feel just like my old 
     D
worst friend
     G                    A   
The ne'er do well that a mother 
          D
prays against
 G                  A           D
Jack Kerouac meets Huckleberry Finn

[Verse 2]
 G              A             
Yes I know the ways of this old 
    D
friend of mine
               G             
He's got some good intentions 
  A             D
misinterpreted every time
           G                A     
Said "the road is long and 
        D
winding" but what he really meant
         G               A        
Was the comfort you are seeking 
        D
will not meet you at the end

[Chorus 1]
G                     D
Gets me going like a fiddle tune
G                        D
Don't even know what my feet are 
doing
G           A                   
Hey, don't fiddlers earn their pay, 
D
OK
G                     D
Green lights all the way to nowhere

G               D
Half the fun is in the getting there
    G                 A           
And once you figure that out 
           D
you're on your way

[Verse 3]
G                A              D
Oh, it's hot out on the road today
    G                A            
No cover, no cloud, no chance for 
   D
escape
   G             A      D
Except that 18 wheeler on the 
straight-away
      G                   A       
So I pull up, match his speed and 
          D
steal some shade

[Chorus 2]
G                   D
Guess I got me the Gypsy virus
G                D
No cure for the ramblin-itis
   G         A                D
Except some asphalt and some days, 
fine days
G                     D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G                D
Half the fun is just in getting 
there
    G                 A           
And once you figure that out 
           D
you're on your way

[Verse 4]
     G                 A          
The road can give you fortunes 
       D
that are yours to use or keep
   G                 A            
Or it can take your very life if 
   D
it lulls you off to sleep
     G           A            
But so can any style of life or 
    D
friend that you might choose
    G               A             
So being dead and friendless, man 
           D
that's the only way to lose

[Chorus 3]
G                       D
Tomorrow shines like a gold doubloon
G                         D
You could have it if you wanted to
G                 A              
You just have to hold your mouth 
           D
the right way, that's the way
G                     D
Green lights all the way to nowhere
G               D
All the fun is just the getting 
there
    G                 A           
And once you figure that out 
           D
you're on your way

          G      A            G  
Well I'd best be on, Well I think
     A        G      A      D    
 I'm on, I'm finally on my way
 G  A  D
