Capo 4
Intro G Em G Em
G
The sun has opened up my eyes
D
And I don't wanna leave your side
C
For that lonesome road
G
But here I go climbing back behind the wheel
Of fifty feet of chrome and steel
D C
And a load they need in Chicago
Em D C
Through the middle of the night unknown
Em D C D
I'm on a ride that won't let me go
[Refrão] G D
I'm an asphalt cowboy
Em
Born to run underneath the stars
C
Pay no mind to my lonely heart
G D
Just ride, ride
Em C
'Till I'm back in your arms again
Em C
I'll be out here on the wind
G
Sometimes late at night
D
I see your picture by the dashboard light
C G
And it takes me where I'd like to be
G
Wrapped up in a blanket there
G
Pullin' ribbons from your hair
D C
And your kiss, girl that's what I miss
Em D C
Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow
Em D C D
This high speed rodeo is all I know
(Chorus)
G D
And I'll ride
Em C
Untill I'm back in your arms again
Em C
I'll be out there on the wind
G D
And I'll ride
Em
Through the middle of the night unknown
C
On a ride that won't let me go
G Em
