Night Drive - Garnet Rogers

ADICIONAR AOS FAVORITOS

I could not find this excellent tune on Ultimate Guitar, so thought it was worth adding. This is based on the original recording by Garnet Rogers. The song is Garnet's homage to the memory of his brother Stan, killed in an aircraft fire while in his prime. Chords corrected 6 Apr 2023.Esta informação foi útil?SimNão

[Intro]

Ad lib over verse chords (one verse or more)

 

[Verse 1]

C G D G

How bright the stars, how dark the night

C G D

How long have I been sleeping?

Am G D G

Sleep overtook me on my westward flight

C G D

Held me in its keeping

Am G D Em

I had a dream--it seemed so real!

C G D

Its passing left me shaking.

Am G D G

I saw you here behind the wheel,

C G D G

On this very road I'm taking.

 

[Verse 2]

C G D G

Hurtling west through the prairie night

C G D

Under the spell of motion

Am G D G

Your eyes were keen and bright in the dashboard light

C G D

Dreaming of the western ocean

Am G D Em

The dusty towns left far behind

C G D

Mountains drawing ever nearer

Am G D G

Your face was then as it was tonight;

C G D G

Ever young, ever dearer

 

[Verse 3]

C G D G

(Spoken) I know this road and its every curve

C G D

(Sung) Where the hills commence their climbing

Am G D G

We rested here if my memory serves

C G D

The northern lights were shining

Am G D Em

You lit a smoke, we shared some wine

C G D

We watched the sky in wonder

Am G D G

Your laughter echoes after all this time

C G D G

In that high and wide blue yonder

 

[Solo]

 

[Verse 4]

C G D G

I don't know why I write these lines

C G D

It's not like I could send you the letter

Am G D G

It's that I love you more after all this time

C G D

It's that I wish I'd known you better

Am G D Em

The years have slipped beneath my wheels

C G D

Dwindling in my rear view mirror

Am G D G

As time has passed, your life has seemed less real

C G D G

But these night drives bring you nearer

 

[Verse 5]

C G D G

So tonight I'll wish upon these stars

C G D

As they rise upward to guide me

Am G D G

That I'll see you here just as you are

C G D

Now, as then, beside me

Am G D Em

Scares me how the years have flown

C D

Like the leaves drift in September

Am G D G

They've lost sight of you as your legend's grown

C G D G

But this road and I, we remember

 

[Outro]

C G D G

As for veerse
