 "COUNTRY MILE" by Rory GALLAGHER
 
 G
 Well I was born on the side of a road 
 A gap in the hedge 
 Did you hear what I said ?
 Born in a house with no slates 
 But I wouldn't switch 
 I didn't have a stitch 
 Always been out on a limb 
 I've been hard to mend 
 Like a kick in the shins 
 
 Bb                 F
 You'll only see me smile 
 Bb             F             G²
 When I eat up a country mile 
 G
 Born on the green light, a mission to move 
 Something to prove, an itch in my shoes 
 I heard then wail of a train 
 From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back 
 Well the engineer threw the switch 
 And it got to my brain I've never been the same 
 Bb                 F
 You'll only see me smile 
 Bb             F             G²
 When I eat up a country mile 
 C
 Gotta make tracks, gotta lose some rust 
 Grease my heels 
 Out race the bus 
 Don't blink your eyes 
 C                     D
 Or you won't see me again 
 
 (Solo) G,... C,... D,... G,...
 
 G
 Born a spoke of the wheel 
 Not a part of the set and 
 I'm running yet 
 I ran before I could walk 
 The price of the fare was hardly ever there 
 Saw an eight wheeler move 
 And I couldn't choose 
 I just had to cruise 
 Bb                F
 You'll only see me smile 
 Bb             F             G²
 When I eat up a country mile 
 G
 Well I was born on the side of a road 
 A gap in the hedge 
 Did you hear what I said 
 Born in a house with no slates 
 But I wouldn't switch 
 I didn't have a stitch 
 Always been out on a limb 
 I've been hard to mend 
 Like a kick in the shins 
 Bb                F
 You'll only see me smile 
 Bb             F             G²
 When I eat up a country mile 
 
 C
 Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust 
 Grease my heels 
 Out race the bus 
 Don't blink your eyes 
 C                        D
 Or you won't see me again 
 
 G,... C,... D,... G,...
