GREG GRAFFIN - BACKROADS OF MY MIND

album version - MILLPORT


INTRO:
B minorBm G+G D MajorD E MajorE
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


VERSE 1:
    D MajorD                G+G
Well I never was one for trouble but I reckon it was for me
         D MajorD              A augmentedA
When I was just a little boy Pap put me on his knee
    D MajorD                   G+G
And he said, "Dear son, steer clearly on the high road you should stay
             D MajorD        A augmentedA        D MajorD
'Cause down there in that valley, boy them detours make you stray"
    B minorBm      G+G     D MajorD      E MajorE
He said don't waste tomorrow on today's idle time
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA         D MajorD
It's hard time living on the backroads of your mind

CHORUS:
    G+G               D MajorD
On the backroads of my mind where the turns are mostly blind
              A augmentedA
Reckoning by rote and memory
       G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA        B minorBm
Well, they've long been neglected and lately are in decline
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA         D MajorD
It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind


VERSE 2:
    D MajorD               G+G
Now the years flew by so swiftly and I can't say they was kind
          D MajorD            A augmentedA
The old home and my family, I left it all behind
   D MajorD               G+G
For a life of hopeful fortune on the highways I did roam
         D MajorD          A augmentedA       D MajorD
But like so many dead end roads, they left me all alone
    B minorBm      G+G       D MajorD          E MajorE
I ain't never been to Jackson where trouble's so easy to find
   G+G        D MajorD         A augmentedA        D MajorD
I've mourned my fair share here on the backroads of my mind

CHORUS:
    G+G               D MajorD
On the backroads of my mind where the turns are mostly blind
              A augmentedA
Reckoning by rote and memory
       G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA        B minorBm
Well, they've long been neglected and lately are in decline
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA        D MajorD
It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind


INSTRUMENTAL:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


CHORUS:
    G+G               D MajorD
On the backroads of my mind where the turns are mostly blind
              A augmentedA
Reckoning by rote and memory
       G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA        B minorBm
Well, they've long been neglected and lately are in decline
   G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA         D MajorD
It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind
     G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA        C majorC G+G D MajorD
Yes, it's hard time living on the backroads of my mind
