Standard tuning
Capo on 1st fret
After transposing for a little bit i found this version in a bit easier
to sing along with. Not so many higher notes to hit. Though the verses
are a little low, the chorus sounds pretty good. Enjoy!
(verse 1)
A E
i've been on the grand ole opry, i played a show with ZZ top
D A
went on tour with Skynyrd, and man they still rock
A E
shot the bull with Bocephus, before he climbed up on his jet
D A
played south Florida with Alan Jackson, thats some things at ya never forget
F#m E D E
And all that stuff it makes you feel real good, but not near as good
(Chorus)
A E
As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home
F#m D
A splash a Jack in my coke, Catchin' brim on a Zebco
A E
spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal
F#m D A
huggin' mama before i go, flyin' down a backroad
(verse 2)
A E
up there in Des Moines, they knew my songs line by line
D A
i just stood there in the fake smoke, another dream came true that night
A E
ive seen so many places, i never thought id see
D A
all the way from California, to as far as you can go east
F#m E D E
and all that stuff it makes you feel real good, but not near as good
(chorus)
A E
As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home
F#m D
A splash a Jack in my coke, Catchin' brim on a Zebco
A E
spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal
F#m D A
huggin' mama before i go, flyin' down a backroad
(bridge)
F#m E D

E D Bm
but with all the things ive done, nothing gets me as high
(chorus)
A E
As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home
F#m D
A splash a Jack in my coke,and Catchin' brim on a Zebco

spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal
