verse 1  
C                     C9       C  
    You were born in a southern farm,  
C                                 C9       C  
    It might've been Sunday but I can't recall  
C                       C9        C  
    All the birthdays I must have missed  
Am                       Gbass    CFill 1  Fm  
    Your first steps and your first kiss  
C                            C9      C  
    I don't even know if you know my name  
                    Am             Gbass         CFill 1}   Fm  
    But you should hear the truth before it's too late  

                    C                     G  
    So I hope this finds you, on some highway  
F                          C      F                  C  
    Cause I'm a long time rambler, I call the road my home  
F                    C                 G  
    Forgive my indiscretion, it's the only way I know  
F                            C                Am     G     F     Fm  
    A million miles from Kentucky, but I will always be around  
                 C                  C9          C  
    So turn the radio up when your heart breaks down 
 

verse 2  
          C                        C9         C  
    I've played for tips and I've played for less  
                C                          C9         C  
    I played a pretty southern girl right out of her dress  
        C                 C9          C  
    She danced until the lights came on  
                   Am                           G       CFill 1   Fm  
    But there's a reason she's here instead of being at home  
                   C                       C9         C  
    She said 'the songs you sing make the whole room cry'  
             Am             G           CFill 1   Fm   
    And that night I told a young man's lie  

                         C                         G  
    When I said I would call her, and I said I'll write  
F                          C      F                  C  
    Cause I'm a long time rambler, I call the road my home  
F                    C                 G  
    Forgive my indiscretion, it's the only way I know  
F                            C                Am     G     F     Fm  
    A million miles from Kentucky, but I will always be around  
                 C                  C9          C  
    So turn the radio up when your heart breaks down  
              C                  C9           C       C/B  
    Turn the radio up when your heart breaks down 
 

BRIDGE  
Am                    Am/G              Dsus  
    I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry  

    I'm sorry for the promises that turned to lies  
Am                  Am/G               Dsus  
    If I could turn back the hands of time  

    I'd take it back and try, try, try  
       Am                         Dsus               C    C/9  C  
    To make you understand, that this is who I am  

verse 3  
C                         C9     C  
    I met the devil in an old motel  
C                                  C9       C  
    It seems I ain't got much of a soul to sell  
C                          C9       C  
    My glass is empty, my hands are blue  
             Am                    G         CFill 1  Fm  
    And the doctor gave me 'bout a month or two  
            C                         C9        C  
    Well I thought I would make it to you this year  
           Am               G       CFill 1  Fm  
    So forgive me one last time my dear  
  
                  C                          G  
    And tell your mother, I won't be coming home  
F                          C      F                  C  
    Cause I'm a long time rambler, I call the road my home  
F                    C                 G  
    Forgive my indiscretion, it's the only way I know  
F                            C                Am     G     F     Fm  
    A million miles from Kentucky, but I will always be around  
                 C                  C9          C  
    So turn the radio up when your heart breaks down  
              C                  C9           C  
    Turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
