the open road – john hiatt
intro :
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
Bm G D
shrunken head and mardi gras beads
Bm G D
hanging on a rearview mirror that bleeds
Bm G D
keepin’ her eyes on the open road
Bm G D
no tellin’ where that son – a bitch goes
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
Bm G D
got her doors locked doin’ 75
Bm G D
don’t care to be caught now , dead or alive
Bm G D
seen enough to kill anyone’s soul
Bm G D
keepin’ her eyes on the open road
Bm G D
keepin’ her eyes on the open road
G A
the open road where the hopeless come
G A
to see if hope still runs
G G D A
one by one they bring their broke down loads
G A
and leave ’em where the hobo dreams are stowed
Bm G D A
out on the open road
Bm G D A
out on the open road
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
Bm G D
midnight fallin’ like a bag of bones
Bm G D
weighted down now the rest with stones
Bm G D
bouncin’ off a river the moon made steel
Bm G D
cracking off the chrome of a steering wheel
Bm G D
anything back there is burned and dead
Bm G D
any love they made any words they said
Bm G D
nothing to do now but drop it and roll
Bm G D
into the lights of the open road
Bm G D
into the lights of the open road
G A
the open road where the hopeless come
G A
to see if hope still runs
G G D A
one by one they bring their broke down loads
G A
and leave ’em where the hobo dreams are stowed
Bm G D A
out on the open road
Bm G D A
out on the open road
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
Bm G D
shrunken head and mardi gras beads
Bm G D
hanging on a rearview mirror on the beach
Bm G D
keepin’ their eyes on the open road
Bm G D
no tellin’ where that son – a bitch goes
G A
the open road where the hopeless come
G A
to see if hope still runs
G G D A
one by one they bring their broke down loads
G A
and leave ’em where the hobo dreams are stowed
Bm G D A
out on the open road ( 8x )
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D |
Bm G D
out on the open road ( 4x )
| Bm | G D | Bm | G D | repeat & fade
