Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret

INTRO:
G  Em   G  Em   G  Em   G  Em
 
VERSE:
G                  Em
 Maybe, baby, I'm crazy
 G                   C
But I'm down on my knees
G              Em
 I want you to go
                      D    C
Come and go with me please
 
 
VERSE:
G                          Em
 This life you're living, honey
 G                C
You die day at a time
G                        Em
 There's something that calls
              D   C
Make up your mind
 
 
CHORUS:
G  D C    D      G            D      C  D
Ba-a-by, let's watch all the rivers flow
G D  C        D          G
  Ba-by, you gotta get young
   D            C  D
Before you get old
G     D        C  D
 Come on, come on
 G      D        C
Lighten up your load
 D           G
There ain't nothin'
    Em      C
But you and me
       D     G  G C D G  G C D G
And an open road
 
 
VERSE;
  G                     Em
'Cause we were born to wander
G                        C
Oh, we were not born to lose
G                      Em
I must follow distant thunder
                  D   C
Or I'll get the blues
 
 
VERSE:
 G                 Em
And the lightning flashing
 G                       C
Reveals a dream in your eyes
 G                  Em
And the message it sends
            D   C
Is hard to deny
 
 
CHORUS:
G  D      C    D      G            D      C  D
Ba-a-by, baby let's watch all the rivers flow
G  D C           D          G
Ba-a-by, you're gonna get young
   D            C  D
Before you get old
G  D          C      D
  Out in the distance
G        D          C
Let the four winds blow
 D           G
There ain't nothin'
    Em      C
But you and me
        D     G  G C D G  G C D
And the open road
 
 
BREAK:
C
 It's a highway trance
                   G     G
Babe you've fallen under
 C
Love forever
                      D
On a road that never ends, oh, oh, oh
 
 
VERSE:
 G               Em
Border town in Dakota
  G                      C
Where the Missouri runs wide
 G                         Em
We'll cross the piggyback bridge there
                 D   C
Reach the other side
 
 
VERSE:
G                 Em
  Listen to the ghost dance
G                 C
In the valley of gold
 G                        Em
Where the ones who understand
                D
Respect the buffalo
 C
Woh, oh, oh, oh
 
 
CHORUS:
G  D C    D      G            D      C  D
Ba-a-by, let's watch all the rivers flow
G  D C        D          G
Ba-a-by, you gotta get young
   D            C  D
Before you get old
 G   D        C  D
Come on, come on
 G      D        C
Lighten up your load
 D           G
There ain't nothin'
    Em      C
But you and me
 D           G
There ain't nothin'
    Em      C
But you and me
 D           G
There ain't nothin'
    Em      C
But you and me
        D     G  G
And the open road
 
 
OUTRO:
 C  D     G
The open road
 C  D     G
The open road
 C      D
Woh oh woh
 G        C    D     G  G  C  D
Goodbye, baby, I am gone
