Tom: B

[Intro] Em  D  G
        Em  D  G
        Em  D  G  D

C            G
Barbed wire fence carvin' out a hillside
C             G
Cuttin' holes in the midday sun
Em           G
Like a post-card framed in a windshield 
D
Covered in dust
C                 G
I love the rhythm of an old grey blacktop
C     G
33's just whistlin' by
Em                G
Steer the wheel, one handed on a two lane
D
Huggin' that line
             C     G
I got the windows down
Em            D
No one else around, singin'

 C     G
Ooh - ooh
Em                         D
Freedom is the miles I'm rollin' on
 C     G
Ooh - ooh
Em                        D
Out here cruising to a backroad song
C                  G
I feel the wheels like a melody
Em             D
Like a radio dialin' in strong
C         G
C'mon, c'mon sing along
Em                  D
Sing along to my backroad song
G   Em   C   G
Ooh
G   Em   D
Ooh

C                 G
I hit the brakes for an old New Holland
C          G
Hammer down and pass him on up
Em                G
The breeze smells like a summertime hay field's 
D
Just been cut
             C     G
I got the windows down
Em          D
Way out of town, singin'

 C     G
Ooh - ooh
Em                         D
Freedom is the miles I'm rollin' on
 C     G
Ooh - ooh
Em                        D
Out here cruising to a backroad song
C                  G
I feel the wheels like a melody
Em             D
Like a radio dialin' in strong
C         G
C'mon, c'mon sing along
Em                  D
Sing along to my backroad song
G   Em   C   G
Ooh
G   Em   D
Ooh

C                                  Em
The only way today could get better
D                     G
Girl what I'm thinkin'
          C                                  Em
Is I can pick you up, you slide in this truck
D
And I can hear you singin'

C  G  Em
Ooh
D
Let me hear you sing it
C  G  Em  D
Ooh

C  G
Ooh
Em                           D
Freedom is the miles we're rollin' on
C  G
Ooh
Em                        D
Out here cruisin' to a backroad song
C                          G
I feel the wheels like a melody
Em             D
Like a radio dialin' in strong
C            G
C'mon, c'mon sing along
   Em               D
Sing along to my backroad song
C            G
C'mon, c'mon sing along
    Em             D
Sing along to my backroad song

This is my backroad song
C  G
Ooh (Feel the rhythm of it, feel the rhythm of it)
Em             D
Come on, come on, sing along
C  G
Ooh (Feel the rhythm of it, feel the rhythm of it)
Em   D
To my backroad song
C  G
Ooh (Feel the rhythm of it, feel the rhythm of it)
