The Baggage On My Eyelids is too heavy too keep from falling

Ramble On into the day...

I've been Driving
F#m/C# G (Barre)
Since A Quarter To Three
F#m/C# G (Barre) Gmaj7 C
I've seen the sun come up so many times this week
Em Am9 C G
It's scary, Rollin' on until the day....
Chorus:
Em D Em
When I get on that open road
C D Em
There's a pull within my bones

Solo:
For the Solo Part Geoff Weers uses an Em chord with some quick little mutted strums in
between. You should be able to figure it out on your own,
Listen to the song to figure out the rhythm.

When I get on that open road

Like a ship that's bound by rope

It won't let go, It Won't let go...

It won't let go, It Won't let go...

Like a ship that's bound by rope

It won't let go, It Won't let go...
That's how you play it.
