playing with the hammer-on and strumming quick and short.
Intro: D
Verse 1: (all D)
I got no money in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it
But it won't get to me
Cause I'm ridin' with my baby
And it's a brand new day
We're on the wheels of an angel
Flyin' away
:
D Em7
And the sun is shining, and this road keeps winding
G
Through the prettiest country
D
From Georgia to Tennessee
D
And I got the one I love beside me
Em7
My troubles behind me
G
I'm alive and I'm free
D
Who wouldn't wanna be me
Verse 2: (all D)
Now she's strumming on my 6-string
Across her pretty knees
She's stompin' out a rhythm
And singing to me the sweetest song
Instrumental: D Em7 G D
