Enjoy, this is pretty much the whole song, listen to it to get the strumming/
picking/whatever you want to do.
Verse 1
Driving rain
Cad99 G
40 miles out of Michigan
Spiderweb headlights
Shut me down
I knocked on the door
I rang the bell
The sign said vacancy
There was no-one around
--------------------------
CHORUS
--------------------------
18 wheels up against the wall
56 tons of grain alcohol
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
But my will is gone
My will is gone
My will is gone
-----------------------
-----------------------
Verse 2
Lightning flashing
Standing in a phone booth
I called her number
I got a machine
I heard her voice <- Continue G/Cadd9 progression
I heard the tone
I tried to speak
Couldn't say anything
------------------------------
Chorus
------------------------------
Verse 3
Blinding snow
Sioux City Iowa
It dawned on me
She was gone to stay
I jammed the brakes
I swung it around
Now I'm headed back
But it's way too late
-------------------------
Chorus
-------------------------
Outro - same as chorus, rinse and repeat
