Capo: 3
Billy Currington
Good Directions
This is the actual version of the song (no capo). I made this tab so it would be easy to transpose. Billy
Currington plays this song live with a capo on the 3rd fret (transpose 3 steps down). However, I believe that
on the studio recording the guitar player plays this song with a capo on the 5th fret
(transpose 5 steps down). This seems to match the chord voicing of the studio track and would adhere to
Nashville's K.I.S.S. methodology. Capo 5 works very well for the F, C/E, Dm (C, G/B, Am capo 5th fret)
chord progression during the bridge.
Intro: F Am Bb C F C7
Verse I:
I was sittin' there Fsellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
AmCrunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
She Bbhad to be thinkin' "ThiCs is where Rednecks Dmcome from"
She had FHollywood written on her license plate
She was Amlost and lookin' for the interstate
BbNeedin' directionsC and I was the man for the Fjob
Chorus:
I told her Bbway up yonder past the Ccaution light
There's a Bblittle country store with an Cold Coke sign
You gotta Bbstop in and ask Miss CBell for some of her sweet Dmtea
Then a Bbleft will take you to the Gminterstate
But a Bbright will bring you Cright back here to Fme C7
Verse II:
I was sittin' there Fthinkin' 'bout her pretty face
AmKickin' myself for not catchin' her name
BbI threw my hat and thought, &Cquot;You fool, that could've Dmbeen love"
I Fknew my old Ford couldn't run her down
AmShe probably didn't like me anyhow
So I Bbwatched her disappearC in a cloud of Fdust.
Chorus:
I told her Bbway up yonder past the Ccaution light
There's a Bblittle country store with an Cold Coke sign
You gotta Bbstop in and ask Miss CBell for some of her sweet Dmtea
Then a Bbleft will take you to the Gminterstate
But a Bbright will bring you Cright back here to Fme
Bridge:
Is this BbGeorgia heat playin' Ctricks on me
Or am FI really C/Eseein' what I Dmthink I see
Bb C F *
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me
Instrumental: F Am Bb C F
Chorus:
She went Bbway up yonder past the Ccaution light
Bb (strong pause) C
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
When she Bbstopped in and asked Miss CBell for some of her sweet Dmtea
Mama gave her a Bbbig 'ol glass and sent her Cright back here to Fme
Thank BbGod for good dirC7ections: and turnip greenFs
*During the bridge, the F before the instrumental could be a Dm. The vocals seem to have a minor tonality
to them. However, the bass sounds like it is playing an F. A Dm could be substituted here if desired.
