Intro
G D Em7 Cadd9
G D Em7 Cadd9
[Verso 1]
G
Every time these tires hit Route 118,
D
Something in me starts to breathe.
Em7
Morning fog hanging in the pines,
Cadd9
Like these hills have all the time.
G
Cold water carving through the stone,
D
Never hurrying, never wrong.
Em7
I don't know what keeps pulling me...
Cadd9
But it pulls me every fall.
[Pré-Refrão]
Em7
Maybe it's the colors.
Cadd9
Maybe it's the air.
Em7
Or maybe it's just knowing...
D
Peace is waiting there.
[Refrão]
G
If heaven's got a backroad,
D
I hope it winds these hills.
Em7
Past old hemlocks and whitewater,
Cadd9
That never learned to stand still.
G
Top down... no destination.
D
Just another mountain bend.
Em7
If forever feels like somewhere...
Cadd9 D
I hope it begins...
G
At Ganoga...
Cadd9
In October.
{Turnaround}
G D Em7 Cadd9
[Verso 2]
G
Lake Jean catching early daylight,
D
Not a ripple on the shore.
Em7
One more hike to hear the falls,
Cadd9
Like I've done a hundred times before.
G
Funny how the older I get,
D
The less I need to understand.
Em7
Just give me these mountains,
Cadd9
And somebody's hand to hold.
[Ponte]
Em7
I've seen oceans...
Cadd9
I've seen city lights...
G
But nothing ever quiets me...
D
Like October here at first light.
Em7
When it's finally my time...
Cadd9
Don't wonder where I'll be.
D
You'll find me...
[Refrão]
G
If heaven's got a backroad...
D
I know it winds these hills.
Em7
Past old hemlocks and whitewater...
Cadd9
That never learned to stand still.
G
One last drive...
D
Top down... cool breeze.
Em7
If heaven's got a backroad...
Cadd9 D
I know it looks like...
Em7
Ganoga...
Cadd9
In October.
G
