Bill Staines - Missouri road song

Oh, good^D morning Missouri, and ^Bmhow have you been? I’ve ^Gdriven all night just to ^Dsee you ^Aagain And there’s ^Dthunder behind me and ^Bmplenty of wind ^GAnd the mountains ^Dahead where I’m g^Aoing.

This ^Dragged old car says ^BmHello to you, too It’s been ^Gmany a mile since ^Dfirst we were ^Athrough Just a ^Dcouple of drifters with ^Bmnothing to do ^GBut go where the ^Dwind was ^Aa-blowing.

^GYour cornfields lie waiting for the ^F#msweet summer sun ^BmTo bring back the life winter ^Dtook on the ^Arun ^DAnd it’s west-bound through the small towns ^Bmwith a song to be sung, ^GA child on the ^Aopen ^Droad. ^D*y^Bmode^Gl*^{D A}

Oh, good ^Dmorning, Missouri, the ^Bmsun’s at my back There’s the ^Gsound of a horn of a ^Dfast-rolling ^AMack As it r^Duns up behind, as it ^Bmburns down the track, ^GChasing the ^Dshadows ^Abefore it.

There’s a ^Dfeeling inside says I ^Bmwish I could stay, But there’s ^Gsongs to be sung and there’s ^Dplaces to ^Aplay, And there’s ^Dplenty of time on some ^Bmother old day To ^Gshare one, or ^Dtwo, and ^Aremember.

The ^Gdark of the night ^F#mlifts away with the dawn, The ^Gfools on the road will be ^Dout before ^Along, And the ^Dbirds in the fields lift to ^Bmflight with a song,

^GMy song of the ^Aopen ^Droad. ^D*y^Bmode^Gl*^{D A G}My song of the ^Aopen ^Droad. ^D*y^Bmode^Gl*^{D A} *hol^Dd last note of yodel*
