The Back Roads Of Buckley chords by Lisa Renee

• Capo on 2nd
• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: A

Verse 1:
G               Am
Driving down a tree lined road
      C                   G
left town behind me, not long ago
G                             Am
Tears, they’re burning in the back of my lids
                  C                    D          C
I thought we’d outgrown this bitchiness…we ain’t kids

Chorus:
G               C               G       D
Mean girls grow up to sip their champagne
        Em         D                C     D    G
Bonney ladies with no class and certainly no shame
                C                   G                        D
You should be wearing pink every Wednesday to warn those in town
                C   D                      G  D
“Mean girls forever!” and Dawn Takes the crown

Verse 2:
G                            C
Hooked line and sinker you reeled me right in
        G                       D
like a musky in May I went out fight-in
C                                Bm
False words of friendship, the hardest part to swallow
      Am                        D
I see now so clearly, you are selfish and shallow

Chorus:
G               C               G       D
Mean girls grow up to sip their champagne
         Em        D                C     D    G
Bonney ladies with no class and certainly no shame
                C                    G                       D
You should be wearing pink every Wednesday to warn those in town
                C   D                      G
“Mean girls forever!” and Dawn Takes the crown

Bridge:
Em        D           C                    G
Don’t interrupt the party, don’t cause a scene
                       D                          C       G
go home before you embarrass yourself…said one entitled Queen

Verse 3:
                 C                                G
So I’m driving alone through the back roads of Buckley
                        D
seeking the soothing silence of the mountains back country
       C                         G
Those mean girls can sip their bougie champagne
        D
wearin pink on Wednesday to signal their shame
             C                    G        Em
While I’m sitting pretty in my fairytale grotto
  C              Bm        Am                D
Sipping on my chalice of cheap, sweet moscato

Chorus:
G               C               G       D
Mean girls grow up to sip their champagne
        Em        D           C      D          Am Bm C
wearin pink on Wednesday to signal their shame
             G                     C
While I’m sitting pretty in my fairytale grotto
   Am           Bm        C                  G
Sipping on my chalice of cheap, sweet moscato
