Did not find a listing for this, so I
sat down and figured it out.
This is also one of my favorite Kate Wolf songs.

Back Roads By: Kate Wolf
No capo: Key of G+G

Verse 1

G+G       D MajorD            Am7Am7      D7D7
I'll take the backroads home through the open country side.
A minorAm          B minorBm  C majorC      D7D7    G+G
Letting things slip by.......in drawn out time...I'll
      E minorEm         B minorBm        C majorC
take the long way home on the backroads of this life
Am7Am7       D7D7      G+G   C majorC
..taking time to see what goes by.

Chorus

BdimBdim    A augmentedA    A7A7          D MajorD  E MajorE
Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're
    BB  C majorC        D7D7  G+G      E minorEm
headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road
   B minorBm     C majorC    Am7Am7      D7D7        G+G
ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home

Verse 2

G+G       D MajorD         Am7Am7      D7D7
A augmentedA back road is so easy, it just rambles on and on.
A minorAm        B minorBm  C majorC      D7D7  G+G
Take it or leave it,....as rolls along.
     E minorEm        B minorBm      C majorC
Drifts through things it cannot change, and doesn't
  Am7Am7            D7D7        G+G   C majorC
even try. Wouldn't that be something for you and I.

Chorus

BdimBdim    A augmentedA    A7A7          D MajorD  E MajorE
Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're
    BB  C majorC        D7D7  G+G      E minorEm
headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road
   B minorBm     C majorC    Am7Am7      D7D7        G+G
ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home

Verse 3

G+G         D MajorD        Am7Am7     D7D7
Anyplace you're bound, you'll get there someday.
A minorAm          B minorBm  C majorC        D7D7    G+G
You're the one who chooses...what you see along the way.
   E minorEm     B minorBm       C majorC        Am7Am7
And when the heartaches seem too much for you to bear.
       D7D7           G+G   C majorC
There's a back road winding everywhere.

Chorus

headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road
   B minorBm     C majorC    Am7Am7      D7D7        G+G
ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home
