E
Wouldn't be walkin’ this road
A
Wouldn’t have to go
E
Bank got the Conestoga wagon
A
You got Fido
E
Sheriff's got my rig
A
I'm on the go

F#
Lids off the kettle
A
Broken string fiddle
E
Whole damn thing gone wrong

Guitar Solo Over Verse and Chorus Chords

E (One Down Strum)
I’m out here wanderin’
A
In the cold mornin’ sun
E
Neon glow blazin’
A
I flicker off and on
E
Soul lost in the chaos
A
Just another someone
E
No goin’ back now
A
‘Cause I’m long gone

F#
Lids off the kettle
A
Broken string fiddle
E
Whole damn thing gone wrong

F#
Lids off the kettle
A
Broken string fiddle
E
Whole damn thing gone wrong
