Artist/Band: Rhyder Brandon Tabs
Song: Backroad Tab
This song is by one of the best artists on the Texas Music radar. Some people I know play it in Drop D but for me standard
tuning sounds fine. The Intro is easy, just upstroke it slowly, then strum.
[Intro} D
The [D] backroads of this county cross like the [C] laces on my boots [G] and I've been runnin' 'em down since I was [D]
able to
[D] I left home at nineteen, swore I was [C] never goin' back [G] man it's times like this I wish that's where [D] I was at
Chorus:
[D} Slow-pokin'down a [C] blacktop, cuttin' ties on a [D] white rock, There's a party down a [C] dead-end road, we're just
hopin' that the [D] cops don't show, somebody is [C] lookin' for a fight, it's gonna be that [D] kinda night, when I get too
[C](downstroke once) far from home [C](down-up)[G] i go find me a [D]backroad
I remember the summer that I turned sixteen, I made-out with a girl in the back of her hatch-back Chevrolet, and I drank my
first beer on the Loo-ees-iannah (yell it!) state line, it was my first time to see the other side
Chorus
And I heard 'em tell me son don't forget where you came from, and I never have and I still like to beat that drum, from the
river bottoms, to the tall pine trees there ain't never gonna be no fear inside of me
Chorus
Tag: Some habits ain't meant to be broke
[Thanks to French for tabs]
