Pat "Fucking" Green- One for the Road
Capo 1st fret
Verse 1:
D A Bm G
Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart,
D A D
Watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show,
A Bm G
Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my window shade,
D A D
After all that he's seen I wonder if he truly knows,
A Bm G
Did he watch her when she slammed the door, like a hammer against the nail,
D A G A D
Leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell.
Chorus 1:
G D A
I thought always meant forever,
D G A
I guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar,
Bm G Em
like an old man drinking down at the tavern,
G A D
well I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home.

Verse 2:
D A Bm G
I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday,
D A D
We were falling in love and living to chase our dreams,
A Bm G D
I gave you flowers on Valentines, and I had a strong feeling deep down inside,
A D
That someday we'd make a home and a family,
A Bm G
I'd say I'm sorry in a heartbeat if you would only let me,
D A D
I could learn to forgive if you only forget.
A Bm G
In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show,
D A G A D
I caught your silhouette creeping down the street, under a moonlight glow,
A Bm G
and as you took my hand, so went all my pain,
D A G A D
we stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train.
Chorus 2:
G D A
And I guess always means forever,
D G A
And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar,
Bm G Em
Like an old man drinking down at the tavern,
G A D
We're one for the road and we're headed on back home,
G A D
Yeah one for the road and we're headed on back home,
G A Em D G A D
One for the road and we're headed on back ho--me.
