hi there! this is a good song from toby keith and
it’s really easy to play too . there’s a lot of palm
muting going on in this song . i mute all the verses and
stop at the pre – chorus and chorus parts ( like i’ve indi –
cated ) but play it however you want to! my indications
are only suggestions!

the intro is palm muted and sort of picked and strummed .
i just “wing it” since i can’t pick and it still sounds
good : )

standard tuning
no capo

intro –
D ( i palm mute intro and verses )

D
walked downtown in my broke down shoes
A
to the side street pub with the bar band blues
G
take a back seat at the front door table
A
order me a bud and shot of black label
D
close this place down once again
A
sittin’ here wishin’ you’d walk right in
G
down my shot , shoot my beer
A
i ain’t gotta go home but i can’t stay here

( stop muting )
G A
it’s a short , short walk down to my second home
G
but that boulevard gets longer
A G A
when you’re walkin’ back alone

D A
and i don’t know where you might be
Bm G D
where ever it is it’ll be without me
A Em D G A
keep thinkin’ i’ll come home one day and find you
D A
long as i got that neon light
Bm G
shinin’ like a beacon in the night
Em A
i know i can make it downtown by myself
G D G
’cause if you don’t know where you’re goin’
A D – muted
you might end up somewhere else

D
kickin’ off my shoes stumblin’ through the front door
A
knowin’ too well the kind of night i’m in for
G
cubs got beat again on sportscenter
A
my bedroom’s cold as my tv dinner

( stop muting )
G A
one more cigarette and i’ll kill the light
G A G A
and i lay there wishin’ you were sleepin’ by my side

D A
i don’t know where you might be
Bm G D
wherever it is it’ll be without me
A Em D G A
keep thinkin’ i’ll come home one day and find you
D A
long as i got that front porch light
Bm G
shinin’ like a beacon in the night
Em A
i know i can make it home all by myself
G D G
’cause if you don’t know where you’re goin’
A Bm D G Em D G A
you might end up somewhere else
