The Ergs!

Out On The Interstate

The Ergs!


Tom: G

Intro ditty is for someone else to figure out. Here's the rest of the song.

VERSE 1
G                    Bm
Dark sky blue with a bright red crown.
Em                   C
The invitation every city and town.
G              Bm
Ready to go in-to the unknown.
Em                      C
I don't know the if and whens of coming home.


PDC HORUS 1
   Am                                          G
My future crept up on me, much like a heart at-tack
Am                                               G    D
Straight life is calling me, and I ain’t calling back


CHORUS
G                     C
Out, out on the inter-state
G                     C 
Out, out on the inter-state
G                     C
Out, out on the inter-state
D
Out on the interstate again. [Fig. 1]


VERSE 2
G                              Bm
On either side it's a fern and creek,
Em                            C
And nothing but black asphalt, in between.
G                     Bm
It's not safe to drive in the rear-view
Em               C
It's what lies a-head that can kill you


PDC HORUS 2
   Am                                           G
My future crept up on me much like a heart attack.
Am                                                  G    D
The straight life is calling me, but I aint calling back.


CHORUS
G  O: G Bm Em C x4


PDC HORUS 3
       Am                                   G
And re-ality is bangin' hard on my bathroom door.
    Am                                          G    D
And nobody calls me ‘cause I don't answer it no more.
