Chords with lyrics
This tab is based off the live acoustic version he posted on youtube, but the only
difference between it and the studio version is the studio version is a half step
higher. In other words, just put your Capo on the first fret and use the same
chords for the studio version. I personally think the live acoustic version is way
better but that's just my opinion. Either way these chords will work for ya. If you want
to hear how I do it, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch v=r4WG3b9lSa4 ) is the link to my cover. Or
here's the video of Luke doing it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch v=Cqrp1ja6APs )
Dirt Road Diary - Luke Bryan (Open or Capo 1)
Intro: G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 x2
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Me and daddy ride around all day shooting doves off a line in a Chevrolet.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Old lab would jump out the back and fetch 'em up.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
We'd drive for miles and miles and never once hit blacktop or change the dial.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
One little country station was all there was.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Checking gates, fixing fence rows that's how my story goes.
Chorus:
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
It's right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 (strum once) G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
I was there, that was me. Its right here in my dirt road diary.
verse 2:
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
I remember when I turned sixteen; I got a license and some gasoline.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Ain't a curve or a straight away we didn't fly down.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
If wasn't the boys it was me and her by fire in a field or down by the river.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Every inch of that county was sacred ground.
E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9
Wish I knew where that old truck was.
G+G
If it could talk it could tell on us.
Chorus:
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
It's right there for you to see, every beer, every kiss, every cotton field memory.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.
E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
I was there, that was me. Its right here in my dirt road diary.
Bridge:
E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9
It ain't a book underneath my bed;
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Just a dusty memory lane in my head.
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 x2
G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
I was there, that was me. Its right here in my dirt road diaries.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 (strum once)
Just ride around this little town and you'll see how I wrote my dirt road diary.
