[Intro] G Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Cadd9 D Cadd9 [Verse 1]
      G     Cadd9
I was up in Chicago

        D             Cadd9
Just to try to make a buck

G                   Cadd9
Picking strings and telling lies

D
Trying to scrounge up some luck

   G
An old man came up to me

              Cadd9
And dropped a 20 in my jar

Am                   C
Said son I like your sound

    D
But you're just a little far
[Chorus]
          Cadd9               G              D
From the gravel roads and the place you sing about

         Cadd9             G                D
We don't pray for rain, in fact we could do without

     Am           C             Am         C
Well I said sir I know, I can't pack up my hometown

         Am           Cadd9          G
But this music is the way I get back there

Cadd9
Wherever I may be

        D              Cadd9
This is how, I take it with me
[Verse 2]
G                    Cadd9
Me and him we got to talkin

D                    Cadd9
Cuttin up and cuttin loose

G                 Cadd9
He told me he was born and raised

D
Just outside of Boone

            G              Cadd9
He moved up North with his Deddy

        D               Cadd9
Working on the railroad line

Am                        C
He shook my hand and said thank ya man

D
It's been quite some time
[Chorus]
                Cadd9               G              D
Since I saw the gravel roads and the place you sing about

           Cadd9             G                D
Where they pray for rain, in fact they can't do without

     Am           C             Am         C
Well I said sir I know, I can't pack up my hometown

         Am           Cadd9          G
But this music is the way I get back there

Cadd9
Wherever I may be

        D              Em     G
This is how, I take it with me
[Outro] D C Em G D C Em G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
