Capo 4th fret (chords played as you'd play them with no fret): 

I play the road
G       A              D
And the highway is our song
          G              D    
And every city's like the same three chords
     Em           A                         D  A7sus4 D
Been helping us along when the story's told 
        G                  D
And the crowd has come and gone
G               D         A                 D
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home

      G         G7
Every exit is a season,
      Em          D
Every signal is a beacon
        G                G7
And the wind, it carries me
       Em          A
And it eases up my load
      G             G7
Everyday I drag the turns
      Em           D
Every candle still burns
          G             G7
And every lesson I have learned
          Em     G7 Em D 
Brings us closer to the crowd

Chorus:
                G
I play the road
G       A              D
And the highway is our song
          G              D    
And every city's like the same three chords
     Em           A                         D  A7sus4  D
Been helping us along when the story's told 
        G                  D
And the crowd has come and gone
G               D         A                 D
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home

         G             G7
Well the bus it is our steeple,
   Em               D
It brings us to the people
    G                  G7
And they will be there waiting
Em                   A
Dancing young and old
          G              G7
And every one of us gets tired
          Em            D
But every one remains inspired
          G         G7
And every one of us require
        Em      G7     Em  D
To keep picking through our souls

Chorus: 

                G
I play the road
G       A              D
And the highway is our song
          G              D    
And every city's like the same three chords
     Em           A                         D  A7sus4  D
Been helping us along when the story's told 
        G                  D
And the crowd has come and gone
G               D         A                 D
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home

           G                  A
She says, "Daddy where do you go
         D        Dmaj7     D6
When you leave me all these nights
       Em                               A  G
With a suitcase and guitar in your hand?
G              A                  D    Dmaj7 D6   
Kissing me and mom goodbye with a tear and a smile
Em           
Where do you go
      G            A   A    B   B 
Daddy where do you go?"

Chorus: 
                A
I play the road
G       B              E
And this highway is our song
          A              E    
And every city's like the same three chords
     F#           B                         E  B  E
Been helping us along when the story's told 
        A                  E
And the crowd has come and gone
A               E         B                 E
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
A               E
Shaking off the miles
                 G7
(Shaking off the miles)
            A
(Mile after mile)
           B
Mile after mile
                 A    Am E
Baby, I'm coming home
