NOTE:
This is such a beautiful song: melancholy and strangely uplifting at the same
time. Recorded on the piano, here it is transcribed for guitar. If you finger-
pick the chords in the basic figure, it sounds quite good but is hard work at
this tempo. I play barré chords everywhere, but see what you think...
A cool song from one of the great songwriters out there. Enjoy!
INTRO:
[play: Dm Bb C G] [x4]
VERSE:
In the Dmback of a Bbcar on a Croad in the Gdark,
In the Dmstillicide, Bbsilently Cfalling snow,G
I have Dmpacked everyBbthing that I Cown in a Gbag,
And I'm Dmdriving, I'm Bbdriving to CIdaGho,
[play: Dm Bb C G] [x2]
A Dmpoem for Bbleaving, a Creason to Ggo,
So I'm Dmdriving, I'm Bbdriving to CIdaGho.
CHORUS:
'Cause I Fcan't Dmbe anyBbone but me, anyone but me,
And I Fcan't Dmkeep Bbdreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
I don't want to Gmfall a-Csleep and watch my life from Gmfifty Cfeet,
My hands are on the Gmwheel so I'm Bbdriving to CIda-Fho,
[play: F C F C]
'Cause I Fhear it's Cmighty Fpretty.C..
VERSE:
And Dmoh, I've been Bbdumb, I've been Cperfectly Gbeautiful,
DmLain on my Bbback buying Clovers with Gstealth,
But I'm Dmsick of you Bball, and I'm Csick of oGpinions,
And I'm Dmsick of this Bbwar I Cwage on myGself...
BRIDGE:
I Dmdon't know why I'm Cso gripped to Dmgo there C

C DmMr. Robert Bbsays, "It's Call in the Ghead!" Tell me, DmPhaedrus, what's Bbgood, is it CIda-Gho?'Cause I Fcan't Dmbe anyBbone but me, anyone but me,
And I Fcan't Dmkeep Bbdreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
I don't want to Gmfall a-Csleep and watch my life from Gmfifty Cfeet,
My hands are on the Gmwheel so I'm Bbdriving to CIda-Fho,
