Intro: BB A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7

Verse:

 E MajorE           A augmentedA
 I told you once the day we met
 E MajorE           A augmentedA
 I wouldn't be your queen.
 E MajorE            A augmentedA
 Your little darlin', sweet coquette
 E MajorE          A augmentedA
 Just wasn't my routine

 E MajorE            A augmentedA
 You've been around enough to know
 E MajorE            A augmentedA
 There's really no one else
 E MajorE         A augmentedA
 When I hear that siren call, baby
B7B7
 I just can't help myself

Chorus:
     A augmentedA
 I gotta go
            E MajorE
 I hope you'll understand
      BB
 I love you so
 A augmentedA          E MajorE
 Want you to be my man

      A augmentedA
 I hear it call
           E MajorE
 Sounds so sweet and plain
       BB
 I gotta go, baby,
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
 'cause the road's my middle name

Verse:

    A augmentedA          E MajorE
 Well, it's hard enough to love someone
 A augmentedA              E MajorE
 When they're right close to home
 A augmentedA                   E MajorE
 Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
  B7B7
 To squeeze the sugar from the phone

BREAK: E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA B7B7

E MajorE            A augmentedA
 Guess the road is in my blood
E MajorE           A augmentedA
'cause I'm my daddy's kid
E MajorE             A augmentedA
 Just have to learn how to let me go
B7B7
 Just like my momma did

Chorus:
     A augmentedA
 I gotta go
            E MajorE
 I hope you'll understand
      BB
 I love you so
 A augmentedA          E MajorE
 Want you to be my man

      A augmentedA
 I hear it call
           E MajorE
 Sounds so sweet and plain
       BB
 I gotta go, baby,
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
 'cause the road's my middle name


CODA:
    A augmentedA
 Hear it call
              E MajorE
 And it sounds so sweet and plain
     BB
 I gotta go
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
'cause the road's my middle name
     BB
 I gotta go
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
'cause the road's my middle name

 Oooh, I gotta go, darlin'

'cause the road's my middle name
