Blue Mountain Road

D                           G          D
Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.
                            E7             A
With every mile we travel into the mornin' light,
       D                              D7              G
We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright.
    F#m           G             A          D
Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.


Bm E   A         D         G                     C       D      G
I  see moonlight splashin' through the trees and ripples on the lake.
    C               G                 Em
I'm headin' home to Woodstock, tryin' hard to stay awake.
G7                                   C             G
Three o'clock in the mornin' on this windin' road alone.
C              G    B7             Em      A
Fifty miles an hour says two hours I'll be home.

So, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.
With every mile we travel into the mornin' light,
We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright.
Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.

I know that my lady's lyin', sleepin' in our bed;
I know my son has dreams of motorcycles in his head.
I know this road blindfolded, every tree and dotted line;
And when it takes me home, it's just an old, old friend of mine.

So, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.
With every mile we travel into the mornin' light,
We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright.
Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.

A             Em            Bm
Every bend on every hill is one less hill to go;
              E7            Amaj7
Every mile's another left behind.
                  A7           D                B7
Engine, don't you fail me now, you gotta get me home somehow.
     E7                        A
I've got one sweet woman on my mind.

Whoa, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.
With every mile we travel into the mornin' light,
We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright.
Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.

Every time I leave I tell myself this time's the last;
Every day away I feel my lifetime rushin' past.
I've seen half this world and I can tell you what it showed:
Everything I love is down this long Blue Mountain Road.

So, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.
With every mile we travel into the mornin' light,
We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright.
Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.
Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight.
