G5                          C5                    F5                      C5 
I drove up from a rivertown, it was late September early October. 
G5                                  C5                         F5 C5 
Thought maybe I could clear my mind and see the leaves turn red. 
G5                                    C5 
The tunes up and the windows down 
               F5                                C5 
On the skyline drive when she flagged me over 
G5                              C5 
"Hallelujah what a beautiful morning" 
                 F5                            C5 
Where the first words that she said 
A5                      F5              C5                      F5 
Her eyes were blue as the sky on a perfect blue ridge day 
A5                           F5         C5                         F5             
She said, "I could use a lift if you're going my way," and........ 


A5    A5                    A5                           F5 
I was............  I was headed south, I was headed out 
                  C5               F5              C5            G5 
headed nowhere or anywhere we wanted to go 
         A5  F5             C5                 F5 
The road stretched out in front of us 
                      C5                  F5             A5 
And she was ready to run it just like I was.  
 
 
G5                           C5 
Told me she was twenty two 
                 F5                          C5 
and she'd just broken out of William and Mary 
G5                                    C5                    F5 C5 
Another summer under daddy's roof was all that she could do 
G5                         C5         
Her boyfriend, she cut him loose 
         F5                              C5 
Too cold for a wedding in January 
G5                           C5                          F5                   C5 
She said, "thats enough about me now tell me about you" 
 A5            F5              C5                         F5  
I rambled on about broken hearts and staying too long 
A5                     F5                           C5                F5  
She said, "Im sorry, but you were right to move on"  and....... 
 
(repeat chorus) 
A5                  F5               C5                     F5   
Aint it funny how everything hinges on a twist of fate 
A5                   F5                    C5                 F5 
She held my hand and said "Arent you amazed"  and...... 
 
(repeat chorus)
