Pat "Fucking" Green- One for the Road Verse 1:
C                     F                  Am                  F
Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart,

           C                F               C
Watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show, 

                     F                   Am                   F
Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my window shade,

       C                     F                 C
After all that he's seen I wonder if he truly knows, 

                             F                      Am                 F
Did he watch her when she slammed the door, like a hammer against the nail, 

C              F                F      F     C
Leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell.
Chorus 1:
            F   C       F
I thought always meant forever,

              C                    F           F
I guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar, 

        Am        F                   Dm
like an old man drinking down at the tavern, 

            F                               F              C
well I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home.
Verse 2:
C               F                 Am        F
I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday,

         C                    F                  C
We were falling in love and living to chase our dreams, 

                       F                Am                         F       C
I gave you flowers on Valentines, and I had a strong feeling deep down inside, 

                          F          C
That someday we'd make a home and a family, 

                        F           Am              F
I'd say I'm sorry in a heartbeat if you would only let me,

         C                   F        C
I could learn to forgive if you only forget. 

                         F      Am                      F
In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show, 

    C                     F                          F      F         C
I caught your silhouette creeping down the street, under a moonlight glow, 

                    F    Am              F
and as you took my hand, so went all my pain, 

    C                      F            F         F         C
we stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train.
Chorus 2:
            F     C         F
And I guess always means forever,

       C                           F            F
And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar,

         Am      F                    Dm
Like an old man drinking down at the tavern,

      F                           F              C
We're one for the road and we're headed on back home,

      F                           F             C
Yeah one for the road and we're headed on back home,

F                           F              Dm C F F C
One for the road and we're headed on back ho--me.
