album version - MILLPORT


INTRO:
Bm G D E
G  D A D


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

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


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


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


INSTRUMENTAL:

D G D A D


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