E B A
I left the cold and rain behind, I drove out west to Memphis
A B A B E
South across the Mississippi line, I rolled my window down
B
Big river runnin' on my right, turtles on the banks a walkin'
A B A B E
Don't know how far I'm gonna get tonight, forty-nine keep on talkin'
A B E
Some roads are made for drivin' fast, and some roads are made for walkin'
A B E
Some roads are made to ease my mind, forty-nine keep on talkin'
Chorus chords w/ fiddle solo
E B
Now me and her we called it love, what the hell did it matter
A B A B E
But when the pushin' came to shove, I didn't have much to say
B
Guess I'm better off on my own, no she won't hear me knockin'
A B A B E
This west bound lane gonna be my home, forty-nine keep on talkin'
Verse chords w/ 1-part acoustic guitar solo, 1-part accordion solo
E B
See the black girl with long blonde hair, up on top of the levee
A B A B E
What's she thinkin' 'bout standin there, what does she see today
B
A dusty haze in the settin' sun, the crows on the wires watchin'
A B A B E
I let two miles turn into twenty-one, forty-nine keep on talkin'
