     GWhen I was a little kid
          C                            GMy father told me to see the world for him
   GSo I took my things
                 C                      GAnd painted pink sunsets over the vast oceans
DSend your dad a note
    C                           GYou made it, kid, you're on the road
DSend your dad a note
    C                           GYou made it, kid, you're on the road

GMother, teach me about the country
                 CCan you tell the lie
         CFrom the lives that you've seen?
GMother, can you tell me
           C             GWhere this road is gonna lead?
     DJust let yourself go
    C                     GAnd sell your soul to the road
     DJust let yourself go
    C                     GAnd sell your soul to the road
