Dixie Chicks - A Road Is Just A Road
CAPO: 2nd Fret
Intro: C G C G C
G
He pulled out in a cloud of dust
C F
Laying rubber and spewing rust
Am G
And on any road he'd take
F Dm G C
Oh, he'd have his foot on the pedal, but my heart on the brake
G
Underneath the smooth tar curves
C F
A road is only dust and dirt
Am G
On a lonely interchange
F Dm G
The signs all look the same
[Refrão] C G F G
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
C G F G
No matter where you go, from Bakersfield to San Antone
C G F Am/E F
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
Am/E G C
Midnight's another dawn, hundred miles ago
G
His wheels spun out of sight of me
C F
Oh, believing that I'd set him free
Am G
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
F Dm G
Saying he couldn't get enough of her
G
You can go by land and you can go by air
C F
You go by sea, hell I don't care
Am G
Go any way you choose
F Dm G
Wearing out the soles of your travelling shoes
[Refrão] C G F G
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
C G F G
No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to El Paso
C G F Am/E F
A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on
Am/E G C Bb
Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
Bridge:
F
And every sleepless night I see him
C F
Screaming by the scenery
Bb F
Not noticing another mile
C F
That's rolled down between him and me
G C G
Oh, him and me____
Instrumental: C G C G C
[Refrão] C G F G
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling

A road is just a road when the one you love is leaving on

Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago

Midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
A hundred miles ago
