Alan Jackson - Drive ( With ) guitar chord

Song: Drive

Artist: Alan Jackson

Tab by: jamez_jess_fan

This is the way I saw him playing it on the ACM awards.

G D

It was painted red the stripe was white

C

It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light

G D

Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta

C

I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her

G D

We put on a shine; put on a motor

C

Built out of love, made for the water

G D

Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten

C

A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

G D

It was just on old plywood boat

C

With a '75 Johnson with electric choke

G D

A young boy two hands on the wheel

C

I can't replace the way it made me feel

G

And I would turn her sharp

D

And I would make her whine

C

He'd say, "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"

Em A

Just a little lake across the Alabama line

C

But I was king of the ocean

D G D C D

When daddy let me drive

G D

Just an old half ton shortbed ford

C

My uncle bought new in '64

G D

Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking

C

A couple of burnt valves and he had it going

G D

He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load

C

Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road

G D

I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals

C

Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

G D

It was just an old hand-me-down Ford

C

With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door

G D

A young boy two hands on the wheel

C

I can't replace the way it mode me feel

G

And I would press that clutch

D

And I would keep it right

C

And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"

G D

Just a dirt rood with trash on each side

C

But I was Mario Andretti

D G

When daddy let me drive

Solo: all I have are the chords.

D C D G D C D

G D

I'm grown up now three daughters of my own

C

I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home

G D

Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file

C

And pull out that old memory

And think of me and smile and say

G D

It was just an old worn out Jeep

C

Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet

G D

A young girl two hands on the wheel

C

I can't replace the way it made me feel

G D

And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,

C

Straighten up girl, you're doing just fine"

G D

Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride

C

But I was high on a mountain

D G

When daddy let me drive

D C

When daddy let me drive

G

Oh he let me drive

D C D

Daddy let me drive

G D

It's just an old plywood boat

C

With a '75 Johnson with electric choke

Thats it. Enjoy. Please make any correctons.
