Tom: Am
C G
I was a selfish young man when I lost my granddaddy
Am F C G
Fell in love to the B-side of "Shootenanny!"
C G
Got more bottles than leaves on my family tree
Am F C G
Late nights, early flights is the life for me
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
You burn by the fire
F G
Or get choked by the smoke
C
Well, the thunder does the talking
E
But the lightning does the work
G
O-o-o-oh o-oh
[Chorus]
G7 C F
Carry me home
C F
I'm no good when I'm alone
C F
I'm burned out to the bone
G
Can't tell I'm cryin'
G6
'Cause I'm stoned
Am F C
Dragging my love along the long road
[Verse 2]
C G
Get your shoes on, get in the car, get the lead out
Am F C G
Get over yourself, get everything you need set out
C G
One hand on the heater, the other flippin' the radio
Am F C G
Full moon fever, full cup of coffee on an open road
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F G
But the sun's coming up
F G
Hits my heart like a drug
C
When all my wasted efforts
E
Are piled in a truck
G
O-o-o-oh o-oh
[Chorus]
G7 C F
Carry me home
C F
I'm no good when I'm alone
C F
I'm burned out to the bone
G
Can't tell I'm cryin'
G6
'Cause I'm stoned
Am F C
Dragging my love along the long road
[Instrumental]
G F G C x3
G F
[Verse 3]
C G
Before the same old tricks, fell for the lie, fell from grace
Am F C G
Fell far behind, fell out of time, fell out of place
C G
Falling backwards, fell over, fell off the face of the earth
Am F C G
Fell in a bucket of luck, arms flailing, free falling face first, mhmm
[Pre-Chorus 3]
F G
But at night we were free
F G
Mirror pond on the sea
C
I'm lookin' out for you
E
Are you lookin' out on me?
G
O-o-oh oh
[Chorus]
G7 C F
Carry me home
C F
I'm no good when I'm alone
C F
I'm burned out to the bone
G
Can't tell I'm cryin'
G6
'Cause I'm stoned
Am F C
Dragging my love along the long road
F C F G C
Ah-ah, long road
