Tom : D
[Intro]
D Dsus4 Dsus2 D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
VERSE:
D
We're still in Wisconsin
F#m
As far as I know
Bm
Today was Green Bay
Em Em A
And tomorrow's Chicago
A
I wish I was lying
Em Em
But there isn't much to report
G
My phone is dying
D
So I've got to keep it short
CHORUS:
F#m
I just wanted to say
Bm
Hey,
Em A
I've been writing you a road song
F#m
It's a cliche
Bm
But hey
Em A
That doesn't make it so love
F#m Bm
And in between the stops at the Cracker Barrel
Em A
And forty movies with Will Farrell
F#m Bm Em A
I need some way to occupy my time
Em A
So I'm writing you a road song
Em A D D
I sure hope you don't mi-ind
POST-CHORUS:
F#m B7
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Em A
Whoo ie whoo ie whoo whoo wee
D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
Ahh ha ha
VERSE:
D
I bought you
F#m
A light blue T-shirt last night
Bm
From some band
Em Em A
I couldn't stand but their logo is all right
A
Some kid threw a bottle on stage
Em Em
He had an arm like a pro
Em G
I know it's getting late
D
I guess I should let you go
CHORUS:
F#m
But did I happen to say
Bm
Hey,
Em A
I've been writing you a road song
F#m
Don't run away
Bm
Because, hey
Em A
I promise it won't be too long
F#m Bm
And I know it's not what you'd call necessary
Em7 A
And I know that I'm no Steve Perry
F#m Bm Em A
And even if you roll your eyes and groan
Em A
I'm still writing you a road song
Em A Bm G D D
That you can call your own
POST-CHORUS:
F#m7 B7
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Em A
Whoo ie whoo ie whoo whoo wee
D Dsus4 Dsus2 D D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
Ahh ha ha
