Rural Route Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Asus4][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I built [D]a fire up on the hill; I
[G]sat in the woods and drank my fill
Talked to [D]God all night,
[G]took another shot at setting me right
Then [A]I walked down to the [D]road,
filled a beer [G]can full [D]of 22 holes
Then [A]I said goodbye, yeah I said [G]goodbye

[Verse 2]
I'd go [A]back but I can't go [D]home,
cause river is [G]up and the road [D]is closed
And there ain't [A]no tele[D]phone
? At [G]my mothers' house
And all the [A]lights are out,
down on the rur[D]al route

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][Asus4][A][G][D]

[Verse 3]
There [D]ain't much of nothin' left,
this [G]place where I became myself
[D]Ghosts and memories,
I'd [G]walk on by but they'd follow me
I'd seen [A]plenty on down the [D]road. Asked
him [G]if he'd seen my [D]brother
He just [A]said no, well I guess [G]I'd better go

[Verse 4]
I'd go [A]back but I can't go [D]home,
cause river is [G]up and the road is [D]closed
And there ain't [A]no tele[D]phone
? At [G]my mothers' house
And [D]all [A]the lights are out,
down on the rur[D]al route

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][G][A][G]
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
I built [D]a fire up on the hill; I [G]sat in
the woods and drank my fill
Talked [D]to God all night,
[G]took another shot at setting me right
Then [A]I'd just walk away,
[D]ain't not[G]hin' here I wan[D]t to remember any[A]way
Least [G]not today

[Verse 6]
I'd go [A]back but I can't go [D]home,
cause river is [G]up and the road is [D]closed
And there ain't [A]no tele[D]phone
? At my [G]mothers' house
And all the [A]lights are
out, down on the rural route

[Verse 7]
I'd go [A]back but I can't go [D]home,
cause river is [G]up and the road is [D]closed
And there ain't [A]no tele[D]phone
? At my [G]mothers' house
And all the [A]lights are out, down on the rur[D]al route
