This tab is based off the live acoustic version he posted on youtube, but the only
difference between it and the studio version is the studio version is a half step
higher. In other words, just put your Capo on the first fret and use the same
chords for the studio version. I personally think the live acoustic version is way
better but that's just my opinion. Either way these chords will work for ya. If you want
to hear how I do it, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WG3b9lSa4 ) is the link to my cover. Or
here's the video of Luke doing it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqrp1ja6APs )
Dirt Road Diary - Luke Bryan (Open or Capo 1)
Intro: G D Cadd9 x2
G D Cadd9
Me and daddy ride around all day shooting doves off a line in a Chevrolet.
G D Cadd9
Old lab would jump out the back and fetch 'em up.
G D Cadd9
We'd drive for miles and miles and never once hit blacktop or change the dial.
G D Cadd9
One little country station was all there was.
Em7 D Cadd9
Checking gates, fixing fence rows that's how my story goes.
Chorus:
Em7 D Cadd9 D
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.
Em7 D Cadd9 D
It's right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory.
G D Cadd9 D
Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.
Em7 D Cadd9 (strum once) G D Cadd9
I was there, that was me. Its right here in my dirt road diary.
verse 2:
G D Cadd9
I remember when I turned sixteen; I got a license and some gasoline.
G D Cadd9
Ain't a curve or a straight away we didn't fly down.
G D Cadd9
If wasn't the boys it was me and her by fire in a field or down by the river.
G D Cadd9
Every inch of that county was sacred ground.
Em7 Cadd9
Wish I knew where that old truck was.
G
If it could talk it could tell on us.
Chorus:
Em7 D Cadd9 D
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.

Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.

I was there, that was me. Its right here in my dirt road diary.
Bridge:
Em7 Cadd9
It ain't a book underneath my bed;
Em7 D Cadd9
Just a dusty memory lane in my head.
G D Cadd9 x2
G D Cadd9
Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.

Just ride around this little town and you'll see how I wrote my dirt road diary.
