As recorded by Blake Shelton (2025 release) [Intro] D Bm D G [Verse 1]
       D                     Bm                 A
"Chevrolet". That's what the faded letters used to say

       G
On the chain the dealer gave me

       D               A
On the day I drove it away
[Verse 2]
       D    Bm                               A
Room 202, I didn't turn it in like you're supposed to

G                              D
I was eighteen, she was twenty-two

                       A
In that spring-break hotel room

            G
I learned a thing or two
[Chorus]
       D                                 A
And it hangs there on a hook by my front door

                                D
Half of them don't even work no more

                                        A
But I remember what each one used to be for

     G                   A           D
On a ring that holds the keys that unlock me
[Verse 3]
D
Master lock

Bm                            A
I got morе of those than most folks got

     G                                          D
This gold one goes to thе gate where we used to drink a lot

               A
At the edge of Grandpa's crops

        G
When he sold it, I stole it from underneath that rock
[Chorus]
   D                                 A
It hangs there on a hook by my front door

                                D
Half of them don't even work no more

                                        A
But I remember what each one used to be for

     G                   A           G       D  G  A
On a ring that holds the keys that unlock me
[Outro]
G                                  D
This one here's a spare I'll never throw away

G                         D
Mama put it there for me, just in case

                 A
I ever came back home one day

                 G                 A  N.C.
Still on the ring that holds the keys that unlock me
