Blackberry Smoke


Tom: F

Intro:  D A G D C Bb C

      D                         A
That man in the mirror, staring back at me
 G             D
Ain't the man I used to see
             C                Bb               D
I've been walking the line a long time, need a change
 D                       A
Breaking my back, working double shifts
      G                           D
The weight of the world's getting hard to lift
                 C       Bb                          D
I'm starting to think I need to break a link in this chain
C                  Bb
Something's got to give
A#                    C
This ain't no way to live

            D            C
Put me on a highway, the interstate
 G             D
A dirt road to anyplace
F               G
Long as I'm long gone
                 D                C
Chasing down some blue sky in my old truck
         G                   D
Tune the world out, turn the radio up
F        G                  D
Sing along to my freedom song

   D                      A
Hey, I got a good woman and she understands
 G                        D
Every now and then, her old man needs some downtime
    C           Bb       D
To clear his mind and unplug
  D                      A
This time, tomorrow, you won't see my face
  G                         D
There'll be one less rat running in this race
              C        Bb                 D
I'll be soothing my soul with a fishing pole
 A#            C
That's what I love


 D            C
Put me on a highway, the interstate
 G             D
A dirt road to anyplace
F               G
Long as I'm long gone
                 D                C
Chasing down some blue sky in my old truck
         G                   D
Tune the world out, turn the radio up
F        G                  D
Sing along to my freedom song
