Tabbed By: Taylor Sansom Capo 4 I'm still not sure of the picking pattern but when I get it I'll tab it out as well. I'm 90% sure of the chords except it might go C to Am in the verse instead of C to F but both sound pretty good and can be accomplished with a slight change in your singing. C/B is just the walkdown/transition chord between C and Am C5 F5 He grew up in a one-horse town G5 C5 G5 Wasn't much to do since all them bars had closed down C5 F5 He'd stare up to the stars sometimes when no one was around G5 C5 And he dreamed of getting out F5 G5 So he bought himself a pick-up truck that was covered up in rust F5 G5 He found a buddy for of shotgun seat that was someone he could trust C5 C5 A5 And they hit the gas, headed west out to the setting sun F5 G5 C5 When the dust had cleared, they were gone. F5 G5 Well leaving just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him F5 G5 He'd been doing it so long, that's the way he'd always been C5 C5 A5 And you can find him in some hotel room with the television on C5 C5 A5 He might be high and he'll probably ramble on C5 C5 A5 You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn F5 G5 C5 But in the mornin'....in the mornin' when you wake up he'll be gone. C5 F5 So he met a girl in a town along the way G5 C5 G5 She had beautiful brown eyes and a place that he could stay C5 F5 So he fell in love, and she fell in love in kind G5 C5 G5 It was so perfect that of course he lost his mind. F5 G5 He snuck of the kitchen one day before the dawn F5 G5 She called out after him and ran across the lawn C5 C5 And he said some things that he didn't mean A5 That he'd best be travelin' on F5 G5 C5 She shed some tears and he was gone. F5 G5 Well leaving just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him F5 G5 He'd been doing it so long, that's the way he'd always been C5 C5 A5 And you can find him in some hotel room with the television on C5 C5 A5 He might be high and he'll probably ramble on C5 C5 A5 You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn F5 G5 C5 But in the mornin'....in the mornin' when you wake up he'll be gone. C5 F5 Eighteen years later, fifteen-hundred miles from home G5 C5 G5 He can't shake her from his mind though the whiskey soaks his bones C5 F5 He heads out on a back-roads in the middle of the night G5 C5 G5 Head up to the meadow, you know he timed that curve just right F5 G5 But some bridges you cross over but the rest you've got to burn F5 G5 He may have lost the road the road but I know he made his turn C5 C5 A5 And as we pulled him from the wreckage, I promised him a song F5 G5 C5 Cuz it was clear that he was gone. F5 G5 Well leaving just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him F5 G5 He'd been doing it so long, that's the way he'd always been C5 C5 A5 And you can find him in some hotel room with the television on C5 C5 A5 He might be high and he'll probably ramble on C5 C5 A5 You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn F5 G5 C5 But in the mornin'....in the mornin' when you wake up he'll be gone.
