Would love any feedback anyone has! I have only ever heard this song on Soundcloud
(https://soundcloud.com/user-923272781-670474835/tyler-childers-joe-rbr-1) before when getting into Tyler's
deep tracks and unreleased stuff. Hope this one is out soon.
 
Typical Tyler hammer-ons throughout, mainly on the bassline of some of these chords. Really easy to hear if
you give it a listen. End of Chorus he plays an F with an open low E string then hammers on low E to first
fret to complete chord. Bridge is similar on the first line. C chord with open B string then hammer on the B,
then G chord he does a hammer/pull off 2nd fret D string.
 
[Intro]
C      C
 
[Verse 1]
C                           Am
  We came out here to get away
 G
Away from all the folks we've known
    F
And all of our mistakes
C                           Am
  Yet we're back again it seems
      G
We're pissin' in the wind and
        F
Messin' up all of our dreams
 
[Chorus 1]
       Am        G     F
And if I didn't know no better
    Am             G       F
I'd think that ya hate to smile
             Am       G        F
You couldn't ask for better weather
     Am       G      F
Ah, where ya runnin' child?
 
[Verse 2]
C                                   Am
  The road is long and the road is cold
                 G
But there's been weaker men get further on
     F
With half the chords you know
C                                    Am
  And you're alright yeah, you ain't bad
        G
And I'd give my weight in whiskey
         F
Just to get my twеnties back
 
[Chorus 2]
     Am          G           F
Ah, what in the hell's thе matter?
 Am        G        F
Cryin' to Soldier's Joy
             Am         G        F
You couldn't ask for a tune much nicer
     Am        G      F
Ah, where you runnin' boy?
 
[Bridge]
C                       G
  And home ain't goin' nowhere
     F
And what makes you believe that'd you'd be happier back there?
C                        G
  You're just runnin' scared
F     F
 
[Verse 3]
C                             Am
  The end will come around in time
        G
And the only thing'll matter is
    F
The way you spent your life
C                              Am
  And this ain't no way to breathe
G
Runnin' through the money
        F
Picking fights out in the streets
 
[Chorus 3]
     Am          G        F
Ah, what in the hell ya after?
Am        G       F
Life or a way to go
             Am       G       F
You couldn't ask for way much faster
     Am        G      F
Ah, where you runnin' Joe?
