Intro:
B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   
B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   

B5                G5          D5
Shrunken head and Mardi Gras beads
B5                    G5           D5
Hanging on a rearview mirror that bleeds
B5                      G5     D5
Keepin' her eyes on the open road
B5                    G5           D5
No tellin' where that son-a bitch goes


B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   
 

B5                         G5  D5 
Got her doors locked doin' 75
B5                           G5       D5
Don't care to be caught now, dead or alive
B5                  G5        D5
Seen enough to kill anyone's soul
B5                      G5    D5
Keepin' her eyes on the open road
B5                      G5    D5
Keepin' her eyes on the open road

 
    G5                   A5
The open road where the hopeless come
G5         A5
To see if hope still runs
G5                           G5     D5    A5
One by one they bring their broke down loads
    G5                        A5
And leave 'em where the hobo dreams are stowed
           B5   G5     D5    A5
Out on the open road
           B5   G5     D5    A5
Out on the open road


B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   

 
B5                      G5      D5
Midnight fallin' like a bag of bones
B5                    G5         D5
Weighted down now the rest with stones
B5                       G5         D5
Bouncin' off a river the moon made steel
B5                           G5        D5
Cracking off the chrome of a steering wheel


B5                     G5          D5
Anything back there is burned and dead
B5                     G5          D5
Any love they made any words they said
B5                    G5           D5
Nothing to do now but drop it and roll
B5                     G5    D5
Into the lights of the open road
B5                     G5    D5
Into the lights of the open road

 
    G5                   A5
The open road where the hopeless come
G5         A5
To see if hope still runs
G5                           G5     D5    A5
One by one they bring their broke down loads
    G5                        A5
And leave 'em where the hobo dreams are stowed
           B5   G5     D5    A5
Out on the open road
           B5   G5     D5    A5
Out on the open road


B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   
B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   

 
B5                G5          D5
Shrunken head and Mardi Gras beads
B5                    G5             D5
Hanging on a rearview mirror on the beach
B5                        G5     D5
Keepin' their eyes on the open road
B5                    G5           D5
No tellin' where that son-a bitch goes


    G5                   A5
The open road where the hopeless come
G5         A5
To see if hope still runs
G5                           G5     D5    A5
One by one they bring their broke down loads
    G5                        A5
And leave 'em where the hobo dreams are stowed
           B5   G5     D5    A5
Out on the open road          (8x)


B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   
B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5   

           B5        G5  D5
Out on the open road           (4x)

B5      G5   D5   B5      G5   D5       repeat & fade
