transcribed and submitted by Bruce Winges (original is in Dm; play slowly, deliberately) Em D Come on baby, let's get out of this town Em D I got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down A Bm G There's a chill in my bones, I don't want to be left alone Em G D So baby, you can sleep while drive. I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar In my pocket I'll carry my harp I got some money I saved, enough to get underway And baby, you can sleep while I drive. We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay I'll buy you boots down in Texas, a hat from New Orleans And in the morning you can tell me your dreams. A You know I've seen it before G D This mist that covers your eyes A G D You've been looking for something that's not in your life A Bm G My intentions are true, won't you take me with you Em G D And baby, you can sleep while I drive. Bm A D Oh, oh, oh is it other arms you want to Bm A D h--o--ld you, the stranger, A the lover, you're free Bm G (pause) Can't you get that with me? Come on baby, let's get out of this town I've got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down If you won't take me with you, I'll go before night is through And baby, you can sleep while I drive. -Bruce Winges ([email protected])
