This dirty road is taking me
Am Em A#m Fm Bm F#m Cm Gm C#m G#m Dm Am D#m A#m Em Bm Fm Cm F#m C#m Gm Dm G#m D#m
Sometimes I don't even know the reason why

Headed down to Tennessee

I came of age and I found a girl
Dm D#m Em Fm F#m Gm G#m Am A#m Bm Cm C#m
In a Tuscaloosa bar
Am Em A#m Fm Bm F#m Cm Gm C#m G#m Dm Am D#m A#m Em Bm Fm Cm F#m C#m Gm Dm G#m D#m
She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly
Am Dm A#m D#m Bm Em Cm Fm C#m F#m Dm Gm D#m G#m Em Am Fm A#m F#m Bm Gm Cm G#m C#m
I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine
And hopped a train

The posse caught up with me
Dm D#m Em Fm F#m Gm G#m Am A#m Bm Cm C#m
And drug me back to Muskogee
