Gettin' Down the Road (Hillbillies)

Appears on: We'll Do It Live
 
Capo 3
(without capo D = F, C = Eb, G = Bb, Am = Cm)

VERSE:
    D                           C       G
She looked at me with eyes that longed
             D  C G
For company
D                                      C     G
Little bits of light shone through her hair
              D  C G
And on to me
    D                  C     G
Desire made me want to stay
                       D  C G
And that's how it goes
    D                        C 
Now I've got a bill and they say
     G         D  C G
They gotta close


PRE-CHORUS:
      G          D          G              D
And I never stay around and get to see the town
       G                    D               Am
I just shake my head as the wheels start to roll


CHORUS:
                    D      C        D      
'Cause I'm gonna be gettin down the road
C      D          C       D
'Cause I know its time to go
    C         Am                     G
I'm gonna get up and get on down the line
             D      C        D      
I'm gonna be gettin down the road
C      D          C       D
'Cause I know its time to go
    C         Am                     G
I'm gonna get up and find me a peace of mind

Hillbillies night club just another roadside bar
A bunch of red clay dirt and the inside of a car
Mountain silhouette in the evening outside of Boone
Well the day I rode along I'll play a little tune

That's a picture of a day when you live the lonesome way
But I wouldn't trade it for a pot of gold

'Cause I'm gonna be gettin down the road
'Cause I know its time to go
I'm gonna get up and get on down the line
I'm gonna be gettin down the road
'Cause I know its time to go
I'm gonna get up and find me a peace of mind

Jam
