The Long Way Around-Dixie Chicks (Lyrics) Chords

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
My friends from high school _ _ married their high school _ _ boyfriends, moved into _ houses _ _
in the same zip codes where their parents lived.
[Am] But I, _ I could [Fm] never [C] follow.
_ _ _ _ No, [Am] I, _ _ I could [C] never follow.
_ _ I _ _ hit the highway _ _ in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling,
live like a gypsy, _ _ _ _ six strong hands on the steering wheel.
I've [Am] had a [G] long time, _ [F] _ [C] _ _
[Am] maybe [G] someday, someday I'm [F] gonna [C] settle down,
[Am] but I'll [G] _ _ [F] always [C] somehow [Am] find my way.
[G] Taking the long [F] way, [C] _ _ _
[Am] [G] taking the long way [F] [C] around. _ _
[Am] [G] Taking the long [F] way, [C] _ _ _
[Am] [G] taking the long way [F] _ around. _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I met the queen of whatever, _ _ _ _ drank with the Irish,
skulked with the hippies, moved with the _ shakers, _
couldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to.
[Am] No, I, _ _ I could [C] never follow.
_ _ _ No, [Am] I, _ _ I could never [G] _ follow.
_ _ _ It's [A] been [G] too long [F] _ [C] here now, [Am] since the top of [G] the world came [F] [C] crashing down,
and [Am] I'm [G] getting it back.
[F] _ [C] _ _
[Am] But I'm taking [G] the long [F] way, [C] _ _ _
[Am] taking [G] the long way [F] _ [C] around. _
[Am] Taking [G] the long way, [F] _ _ [C] _ _
taking [G] the long way [F] _ _ _
around.
_ _ _ [G] La, la, _ la, la, la.
[F] Oh, this time [C] I won't [G] lay down. _ _

[F] _ [C] _ and [Am] take a [G] long way [F] [C] around
Well, I [Am] fought with a [G] stranger and I met [F] [C] myself
Then I hurt [Am] myself
[G] It can get [F] pretty [C] lonely when you show [Am] yourself
[G] Guess I [F] could've [C] made it easier on [Am] myself
[G] But I [F] _ could never [Am] follow
[G] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ No_
[Am] Well, [G] I'm never seen [F] like [C] anybody else
[Am] I'm taking [G] the long _
[F] way, [C] _ _ [Am] taking [G] the long [F] way around
