I'm an easy rider, the wind is at my back

I'm an easy rider, the white line is my track 
  E                          D 
Every lane is a passing lane and the ride away is mine 
  E                          D 
Let me on that straight-away and I'll be fairly flying 
  A                                        A 
I'm an easy rider, my wheels love to roll 
  A 
I'm an easy rider, I ride a new road every day 
  D                 A 
I'm an easy rider, I will see you on my way 
  E                                D 
I got a number down in every town in my little black book 
  E 
And they understand that I'm a traveling man 
  D 
So they don't think they got hooked 
  A 
I'm an easy rider, I love that gray highway

I know a lady down in Little Rock and I stopped for a little while 
 E                                        D 
But I had to go because another I know is waiting for my smile 
A 
I'm a easy rider I can't be in one place
