Mother Road Cifras

[Intro]
 
G
Em  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
I checked in at the crossroads
Em
I met some strange folk
G                     Em
They ran a cheap motel
G                                      Em
I could hear every whisper through the walls of the rooms
      C                        Am
Felt a little like a prison cell
 
C                      G
I wrote a song about a dream I had
                   D/Gb      Em
Then they rang the dinner bell
     C
They whooped and they hollered when I came in
      Am
Saying 'Girl, you're going straight to hell'
 
 
[Chorus 1]
            C
Down mother road
                        G
Once again I turn to you
           C
'Cause you know how I feel, mama
                       Am
You've been run over too
      G                      C
Can I lean on your shoulder?
                       Em         A
Until my feet find the ground, ah
    C
Wherever I'm headed
D
Mama, don't let it be down
 
 
G
Em D
 
 
[Verse 2]
  G                    Em
I took a little detour out to the crater
G                           Em
The sky was wild with rage
G                     Em
I drove my car like a rocket taking off
          C              Am
Down that sunset straightaway
 
           C                  G
There's an endlessness in the way I feel
            D/Gb      Em
When I wrap my hands around that wheel
     C                                   Am
Hmm, only I know just how far I'm gonna, go, go, go
 
 
[Chorus 2]
                C
Down the mother road
                      G
I always come back to you, mama
         C
You know just how I feel
                     Am
You've been run over too
      G                      C
Can I lean on your shoulder?
                            Em         A
Just until my feet find the ground
        C
And wherever I'm headed
D
Mama, don't let it be down
 
 
[SOLO LEAD IN]
G
Em  D
 
          G                     Em
She won't never let me, let me, let me
D
Let me down, mama
 
 
[Solo]
G
Em D
 
[Bridge]
      Em                       D/Gb
And I don't really know if the day will ever come
          G                  Am
When I'll find that peace within
         Em             D/Gb
But as I roll down this rugged highway
    G                     C
I'm closer than I've ever been, yeah, yeah
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                   Em
Caught in Oklahoma driving too fast
G               Em
I felt my world slow down
      G                         Em
And I made my confession to the highway patrol
        C                       Am
I said, "I was lost but now I'm finally found"
C                                 G
Well, she gave me a ticket anyway
                     D/Gb
And I didn't put up a fight
Em                   C
'Cause I've driven a million miles lived a million lives
    Am
Now mama's headed home tonight
 
 
[Chorus 3]
            C
Down mother road
                      G
I always come back to you, yeah
C                                           Am
Show me the way, mama, just like you always do
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
          G
I'm gonna find my true North
    C
Out West or down South
         Em                       A
And I'll keep on rolling 'til I figure it out
       C
And wherever I'm headed
D                     G
Mama, don't let it be down
 
Em D
 
 
[Outro]
 
G
Em D
 
I'll see you next time
(Mama don't let it be down) down that road
I'll be out there somewhere on that wild old trail (mama don't let it be down)
You know, Tucumcari, Romeoville, Amarillo
Find, find, find, finding whatever I, I'm looking for
I'll find it out on the mother road, yeah
