| Bm| G   D| Bm| G   D|
| Bm| G   D| Bm| G   D|
BmShrunken head and GMardi Gras Dbeads
BmHanging on a rearview Gmirror that Dbleeds
BmKeepin' her eyes on the Gopen rDoad
BmNo tellin' where that Gson-a bitch Dgoes
| Bm| G   D| Bm| G   D|
BmGot her doors locked doin' G75D  
BmDon't care to be caught now, Gdead or Dalive
BmSeen enough to kill Ganyone's Dsoul
BmKeepin' her eyes on the Gopen Droad
BmKeepin' her eyes on the Gopen Droad
The Gopen road where the Ahopeless come
GTo see if Ahope still runs
GOne by one they bring their Gbroke Ddown Aloads
And Gleave 'em where the hobo Adreams are stowed
Out on the Bmopen GroadD  A  
Out on the Bmopen GroadD  A  
| Bm| G   D| Bm| G   D|
BmMidnight fallin' like a Gbag of Dbones
BmWeighted down now the Grest with Dstones
BmBouncin' off a river the Gmoon made Dsteel
BmCracking off the chrome of a Gsteering Dwheel
BmAnything back there is Gburned and Ddead
BmAny love they made any Gwords they Dsaid
BmNothing to do now but Gdrop it and Droll
BmInto the lights of the Gopen Droad
BmInto the lights of the Gopen Droad
The Gopen road where the Ahopeless come
GTo see if Ahope still runs
GOne by one they bring their Gbroke Ddown Aloads
And Gleave 'em where the hobo Adreams are stowed
Out on the Bmopen GroadD  A  
Out on the Bmopen GroadD  A  
| Bm| G   D| Bm| G   D|
| Bm| G   D| Bm| G   D|
BmShrunken head and GMardi Gras Dbeads
BmHanging on a rearview Gmirror on the Dbeach
BmKeepin' their eyes on the Gopen rDoad
BmNo tellin' where that Gson-a bitch Dgoes
The Gopen road where the Ahopeless come
GTo see if Ahope still runs
GOne by one they bring their Gbroke Ddown Aloads
And Gleave 'em where the hobo Adreams are stowed
Out on the Bmopen Groad D   A(8x)
