G C
Black road, Georgia trees
G C
Midnight moon just stay with me
G C
Like a lighthouse in the sky
G C
And let these eighteen wheels fly
D C
I woke up this morning in a Motel Five
D C G
Brokenhearted, I'm gonna drive through the night
C G C
Down the open road
I asked her where we stood
She said Johnny this ain't no good
You made the highway your home
And I'm just tired of living alone
So you go your way, and I'll go mine
And maybe one day, you'll find what you're looking for
Down the open road
C G C G C
Down the open road

BRIDGE:
A
I've been down this road many time
C A
And Lord I've tried to find
A
Some peace of heart, some peace of mind
C D
But this road just winds and winds
G C G C
A D
There's a crazy lady with high-heeled shoes
A D
She could take away my homesick blues
A D
And lately I feel a little crazy too
A D
Yes I do ma'am, yes I do
E D
Got a double sleeper, I'm hell on wheels
E D A
Come on sweet thing, show me how love feels
D A
Down the open road
D A
Down the open road
D A D E D A D
Down the open road
A D G D
Somewhere down the open
A
road
She don't break down, she don't run cold
D
She's heart and soul like a pot of gold
A
She sees the white lines when I'm driving blind
D G D A
A hundred more miles and she's right on time
D
Right on time
A D G D A
She's right on time, right on time (Down the open road)
(Repeat chords to fade-out)
