On The Open Road chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb] [Gm] [Eb]
Do you need a break from modern livin'?
Do you long to shed your [Ab] weary load?
[Bb] If your nerves are raw and your brain is dry,
Just grab a friend and take a ride together
Up on the [Eb] open road.
Come on, Maxie!
All in all, I'd rather have detention.
All in all, I'd rather [Ab] eat a toad.
[Bb] An old man drives like such a klutz
That I'm about to hurl my guts
Directly up on the [Eb] open road.
[Ab] There's nothin' can upset me
[Gm] Cuz now we're on our way
[Fm] Our trusty map will guide us [Eb] straight and true.
[Ab] Roxanne, please don't forget me
[Gm] I will return [Cm] someday
[F] Though I may be in traction when [Bb] I do.
[Dbm] [Eb] Me and [F] Max relaxin' like the old days
Stand draggin' Bradman at me
I'm a [Eb] buddy-buddy [Ab] kind of man
I think I [Bb] may explode
When I think of that highway, I could cry
You know, that's funny
So could I just be a
Out on the [Eb] open road.
[E]
[A] [E]
Audie boys, [Bm] this is the [A] way to Nashville
Watch it, Mac!
Oh, you'll be [D] gettin' towed!
[E] I'm in no hurry to arrive
[Dbm] Cuz I'll be [B] tired in sixty [E]-five
The next time I seize the [A] open road.
[F] Just a week of rest and [Bb] relaxation
[F] And the odd romantic [Eb] episode
Very odd!
[F] And it's California, [Eb]
you're lost!
[Dm] Look out, you [Cm] dirtbags!
Eat my [F] dust from now on
I'm on the [Bbm] open road!
[Eb] [Ab] Get me in little Maxie
[Gm] My pet sweet [Cm] pioneer
[Fm] There are dangers for a little [Eb] Westwood hole Yee-haw!
[Ab] Could someone call a taxi
[Gm] And get me [Cm] outta here
[C] To Beverly [F] Hills [Bb] 90210?
[C] Oh, [F] every day another new adventure
[F] Every mile another new [Bb] zip code
[C] And the cares we have are wonderful
[Db] And I'd go with them if I [G] could
I got no strings on me
[A] I'm feelin' fancy free
[C] How wonderful to be
[F] On the open road!
