One For The Road


Pat "Fucking" Green- One for the Road Capo 1st fret Verse 1: D A Bm G Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart, D A D Watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show, A Bm G Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my window shade, D A D After all that he's seen I wonder if he truly knows, A Bm G Did he watch her when she slammed the door, like a hammer against the nail, D A G A D Leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell. Chorus 1: G D A I thought always meant forever, D G A I guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar, Bm G Em like an old man drinking down at the tavern, G A D well I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home. Verse 2: D A Bm G I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday, D A D We were falling in love and living to chase our dreams, A Bm G D I gave you flowers on Valentines, and I had a strong feeling deep down inside, A D That someday we'd make a home and a family, A Bm G I'd say I'm sorry in a heartbeat if you would only let me, D A D I could learn to forgive if you only forget. A Bm G In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show, D A G A D I caught your silhouette creeping down the street, under a moonlight glow, A Bm G and as you took my hand, so went all my pain, D A G A D we stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train. Chorus 2: G D A And I guess always means forever, D G A And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar, Bm G Em Like an old man drinking down at the tavern, G A D We're one for the road and we're headed on back home, G A D Yeah one for the road and we're headed on back home, G A Em D G A D One for the road and we're headed on back ho--me.
