Chris Knight – Me And This Road (Guitar)

       G                F#/D            Em                Cadd9
An old county road runs by my house and ends on the river bank

    G       F#/D           Cadd9
In '73 they shut the ferry down

G                          F#/D
Back up the road there's a church and a store

       Em                      Cadd9
With a bench full of lying old men

       G                F#/D             Cadd9
In the middle of a wide spot they call a town

           G                           F#/D              Em                  Cadd9
I'm just a young man living to make me old plowing these fields by the river road

      G                   F#/D                 Cadd9
Where hopes dreams and my granddaddy lived and died

           G                  F#/D               Em               Cadd9
They go as far as my eyes can see but they ain't far enough for me

       G                        F#/D              Cadd9
When I drive to the river and I look at the other side

            G   Cadd9           G      Cadd9
Me and this road, we ain't been nowhere

            G   Cadd9       D
As far as I know this whole world's just a county fair

    Cadd9               D              Em             Cadd9
But somewhere there's a bridge that'll take us out of here

G               F#/D              Cadd9
Free as a river flows me and this road

      G                      F#/D                 Em                Cadd9
We'll find a long stretch of blacktop where there ain't no dead-end signs

    G                  F#/D             Cadd9
And leave these fences fields and farms behind

          G                F#/D        Em               Cadd9
There's a bigger town on a bigger road fame and fortune I've been told

    G                       F#/D               Cadd9
And across that river we'll search till I find mine

            G    Cadd9          G      Cadd9
Me and this road, we ain't been nowhere

            G   Cadd9       D
As far as I know this whole world's just a county fair

    Cadd9               D              Em             Cadd9
But somewhere there's a bridge that'll take us out of here

G               F#/D              Cadd9
Free as a river flows me and this road

       G                 F#/D         Em                       Cadd9
Well I shook my father's hand now I'm off to find the promised land

    G                  F#/D             Cadd9
And I hope I bring him back a little gold

             G                     F#/D            Em                 Cadd
You know his dream was the same as mine but it got lost somewhere in time

     G           F#/D             Cadd9
In a dusty field along that river road

            G   Cadd9           G      Cadd9
Me and this road, we ain't been nowhere

            G   Cadd9       D
As far as I know this whole world's just a county fair

    Cadd9               D              Em             Cadd9
But somewhere there's a bridge that'll take us out of here

G               F#/D              Cadd9
Free as a river flows me and this road
