Bonnie Raitt - The Roads My Middle Name

Intro: B A E B7

Verse:

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

 E            A
 You've been around enough to know
 E            A
 There's really no one else
 E         A
 When I hear that siren call, baby
B7
 I just can't help myself

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

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

Verse:

    A          E
 Well, it's hard enough to love someone
 A              E
 When they're right close to home
 A                   E
 Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
  B7
 To squeeze the sugar from the phone

BREAK: E  A  E  A  E  A B7

E            A
 Guess the road is in my blood
E           A
'cause I'm my daddy's kid
E             A
 Just have to learn how to let me go
B7
 Just like my momma did


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

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


CODA:
    A
 Hear it call
              E
 And it sounds so sweet and plain
     B
 I gotta go
      A        E
'cause the road's my middle name
     B
 I gotta go
      A        E
'cause the road's my middle name
        B
 Oooh, I gotta go, darlin'
      A  (tacit) NC   E7
'cause the road's my middle name
