The Open Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]We came to a halt in the [G]snow
Swerving on the [Em]wet slush [A]below
Just as well we [F#m]did 'cos
[Bm]That lorry in [A]front of [Abdim]us
Was gonna tip [Asus4]over[G]
[Asus4]So we peeled

[Verse 2]
[D]off for a [G]break
Though we knew it [Em]meant we'd be [A]late
But we were [F#m]alive and
[Bm]It felt pretty g[A]ood to t[Abdim]aste
The strawberry milk[Asus4]shake

[Verse 3]
And [F#m]still we car[Em]ried on
Our entire [G]lives [F#]upon
The open [D]road[Edim]
Guided on the [D]asphalt by
The [Edim]traffic lines and [D]burger [Edim]signs
'Til we're in the [Bm]motel gone
[A]for [Em]the nigh[Asus4]t[G]
[Em]Way out on the

[Verse 4]
[D]north golden [G]coast
Just as we were [Em]ready to [A]go[Bb]
Bandit[C]s broke into the v[D]an
And took all we [Am]had
In the [D]city we were stranded
[G]

[Verse 5]
[F#m]
And still [A]we[Em]
Somehow [D]rolled through
Onto the [Dm]next town

[Interlude 1]
Always somewhere new
[C][Em][C][D]

[Verse 6]
I've seen [D]mountains pierce [C]the sky
[A]Deserts [D]frosted under ice[C][Bb]
But some days I just miss [Eb]mum
an[Bb]d da[Eb]d[Bb]
Though I think it makes them [G]happy[Em][A]
I [G]fi [Asus4]nally man[Em]aged to [A]see
The [D]open road
[Em][D][Dm]

[Verse 7]
[A]
[C#dim]'Til I'll make quit[C]e sure[D]
there's [Bm]nowhere
[Em]Left to get to [Am]know[Dm]
[Am][C][D]

[Verse 8]
[Em]
The open [F]road[Dm][Em][C]
The open [D]road[Em]
Will take me [F]home [Dm]some[G]day

[Outro 1]
[Em]
