Back Roads By: Kate Wolf From:1976 Album..Back Roads No capo: Key of G Verse 1 G D Am7 D7 I'll take the backroads home through the open country side. Am Bm C D7 G Letting things slip by.......in drawn out time...I'll Em Bm C take the long way home on the backroads of this life Am7 D7 G C ..taking time to see what goes by. Chorus Bdim A A7 D E Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're B C D7 G Em headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road Bm C Am7 D7 G ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home Verse 2 G D Am7 D7 A back road is so easy, it just rambles on and on. Am Bm C D7 G Take it or leave it,....as rolls along. Em Bm C Drifts through things it cannot change, and doesn't Am7 D7 G C even try. Wouldn't that be something for you and I. Chorus Bdim A A7 D E Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're B C D7 G Em headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road Bm C Am7 D7 G ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home Verse 3 G D Am7 D7 Anyplace you're bound, you'll get there someday. Am Bm C D7 G You're the one who chooses...what you see along the way. Em Bm C Am7 And when the heartaches seem too much for you to bear. D7 G C There's a back road winding everywhere. Chorus Bdim A A7 D E Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're B C D7 G Em headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road Bm C Am7 D7 G ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home Define:Bdim E--4-- B--3-- G--4-- D--3-- A--x-- E--x-- Comments, corrections, additions for fingerstyle please E-mail me at [email protected]
