Intro: G

G 	        D
I been driving fourteen hours
C 	  	     D
All this pavement beneath the chrome and steel. 
G 	  	         D
Chasing ghosts down in North Carolina,
C 	  	  	  D
The sky is burning down on the steering wheel.

Chorus:
Em 	  	         	  	 D
And though the sun is setting down.
Em 	  	  	        C 	     D
And though my heart is aching on this open road,

N.G. 	      C 	  	   D 	       G
Blue Ridge Mountains are sneaking up ahead,
Em 	       C 	  	       D 	  	  	 G
Kudzu on the freeway and the leaves are turning red.
 	  	 Em 	       C 	  	       G
And though the hills of the highlands are in sight,
 	 Em 	  	  D 	  	 G
I'd do anything to have you with me tonight. 
 
G 	  	  D
Power lines are stretching outwards.
C 	  	  	      D
Aside for something about every mile or two.
G 	  	     D
Diesel stations and water towers,
C 	  	  	      D
And the dotted line that is brining me to you. 

Chours:
Em 	  	         	  	 D
And though the sun is setting down.
Em 	  	  	        C 	     D
And though my heart is aching on this open road,

N.G. 	      C 	  	   D 	       G
Blue Ridge Mountains are sneaking up ahead,
Em 	       C 	  	       D 	  	  	 G
Kudzu on the freeway and the leaves are turning red.
 	  	 Em 	       C 	  	       G
And though the hills of the highlands are in sight,
 	 Em 	  	  D 	  	 G
I'd do anything to have you with me tonight.

G 	  	     D
I see your face in every streetlight.
C 	  	  	   D
Our love's like water as far as I can tell.
G 	  	  D
Mile to mile I'm pushing onward
C 	  	            D
To seeing you at the Americana motel.

Chorus:
Em 	  	         	  	 D
And though the sun is setting down.
Em 	  	  	        C 	     D
And though my heart is aching on this open road,

N.G. 	      C 	  	   D 	       G
Blue Ridge Mountains are sneaking up ahead,
Em 	       C 	  	       D 	  	  	 G
Kudzu on the freeway and the leaves are turning red.
 	  	 Em 	       C 	  	       G
And though the hills of the highlands are in sight,
 	 Em 	  	  D 	  	 G
I'd do anything to have you with me tonight.
