I may have labelled a few chords incorrectly due to a lot of guess work, so these are what certain "unusual"
chords are as I've worked them out, apologies if they're completely wrong!
C6/9 - x30210
Am7/G - 302010
C/B - x20010
Throughout the intro/verse and wherever else appropriate there is a riff of sorts played into the chord
progression of C and C6/9. The riff is simply hammering on the second fret to form the chord, and is as such:
C C6/9 C
e|-0---------0---0-0-|-0----------0--------0-----0-|
B|-1---------1---1-1-|-1----------1--------1-----1-|
G|-0---------0---0-0-|-0-h-2--0---0--------0---0---|
D|-0-h-2-----2---2-2-|-0----------0-h-2----2---2---|
A|-3---------3---3-3-|-3----------3--------3---3---|

[Verse 1]
C C6/9 C
You were born in a southern fall,
C C6/9 C
It might've been Sunday but I can't recall
C C6/9 C
All the birthdays I must have missed
Am C[Fill 1] Fm
Your first steps and your first kiss
C C6/9 C
I don't even know if you know my name
Am G[bass] C[Fill 1} Fm
But you should hear the truth before it's too late
[Chorus 1]
C G
So I hope this finds you, on some highway
F C F C
Cause I'm a long time rambler, I call the road my home
F C G
Forgive my indiscretion, it's the only way I know
F C Am G C Fm
A million miles from Kentucky, but I will always be around
C C6/9 C
So turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
[Verse 2]
C C6/9 C
I've played for tips and I've played for less
C C6/9 C
I played a pretty southern girl right out of her dress
C C6/9 C
She danced until the lights came on
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
But there's a reason she's here instead of being at home
C C6/9 C
She said "the songs you sing make the whole room cry"
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
And that night I told a young man's lie
[Chorus 2]
C G
When I said I would call her, and I said I'll write
F C F C
Cause I'm a long time rambler, I call the road my home
F C G
Forgive my indiscretion, it's the only way I know
F C Am G C Fm
A million miles from Kentucky, but I will always be around
C C6/9 C
So turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
C C6/9 C C/B
Turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
[Bridge]
Am Am/G Dsus
I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
I'm sorry for the promises that turned to lies
Am Am/G Dsus
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd take it back and try, try, try
Am Dsus C C6/9 C
To make you understand, that this is who I am
[Verse 3]
C C6/9 C
I met the devil in an old motel
C C6/9 C
It seems I ain't got much of a soul to sell
C C6/9 C
My glass is empty, my hands are blue
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
And the doctor gave me 'bout a month or two
C C6/9 C
Well I thought I would make it to you this year
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
So forgive me one last time my dear
[Chorus 3]
C G
And tell your mother, I won't be coming home
F C F C
Cause I'm a long time rambler, I call the road my home
F C G
Forgive my indiscretion, it's the only way I know
F C Am G C Fm
A million miles from Kentucky, but I will always be around
C C6/9 C
So turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
C C6/9 C
Turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
