[Intro]
|Am   |     |     |Am7/G
 
[Verse 1]
Am                    Am7/G   Fmaj7
Mountain's rough this time of year
                C/G
They close the highway down
             G
They don't warn the town
Am                  Am7/G Fmaj7
I've been fighting second gear 
            C/G
For fifteen miles or so,
                  G
Trying to beat the angry snow
Em                       Dm
I know every town worth passing through
                   C/G
But what good does knowing do 
                G
With no one to show it to
 
[Chorus]
           C/G
I've grown tired of traveling alone
G
Tired of traveling alone
           Am
I've grown tired of traveling alone
Am7/G     Fmaj7
Won't you ride with me
           C/G
I've grown tired of traveling alone
G
Tired of traveling alone
           Am
I've grown tired of traveling alone
Am7/G     Fmaj7
Won't you ride with me, 
           C/G
Won't you ride,
           G
Won't you ride
 
[Verse 2]
Am           Am7/G Fmaj7
I quit talking to myself
                     C/G
And listening to the radio 
              G
A long, long time ago
Am                  Am7/G  Fmaj7
Damn near strangled by my appetite
                    C/G
In Ybor City on a Friday night
               G
Couldn't even stand upright
Em                                  Dm
So high, the street girls wouldn't take my pay
                            C/G
She said come see me on a better day, 
               G
And she just danced away
 
[Chorus]
           C/G
I've grown tired of traveling alone
G
Tired of traveling alone
           Am
I've grown tired of traveling alone
Am7/G     Fmaj7
Won't you ride with me
           C/G
I've grown tired of traveling alone
G
Tired of traveling alone
           Am
I've grown tired of traveling alone
Am7/G     Fmaj7
Won't you ride with me, 
           C/G
Won't you ride,
           G
Won't you ride
 
[Bridge]
G#
Pain in the outside lane, 
                       A#     C/G
I'm tired of answering to myself
G#
Heart like a rebuilt part, 
                      A#       C/G
I don't know how much it's got left
                   G
How much it's got left
 
[Instrumental]
|C/G |    |G   |    |
|Am  |    |Am7/G
|FM7 |    |
 
[Chorus]
           C/G
I've grown tired of traveling alone
G
Tired of traveling alone
           Am
I've grown tired of traveling alone
Am7/G     Fmaj7
Won't you ride with me
           C/G
I've grown tired of traveling alone
G
Tired of traveling alone
           Am
I've grown tired of traveling alone
Am7/G     Fmaj7
Won't you ride with me, 
          C/G
Won't you ride,
          G
Won't you ride
 
[Outro]

Really good - this looks just like how Jason plays it on the G&G video. Only thing I might change is that it looks like he's playing the Fmaj7 as x33210. Great translation, thanks.

Nice tab. 5 Stars. Thanks.

You're welcome; me too. The more I listen and play the more I appreciate what a great album this is. I think sobriety and marriage are working for him.
