I may have labelled a few chords incorrectly due to a lot of guess work, so these are what certain "unusual"
chords are as I've worked them out, apologies if they're completely wrong!
C9 - x30210
Am7/G - 302010
C/B - x20010
Throughout the intro/verse and wherever else appropriate there is a riff of sorts played into the chord
progression of C and C9. The riff is simply hammering on the second fret to form the chord, and is as such:
C C9 C

[Verse 1]
C You were born in aC9 southernC farm,
C It might've been Sunday but I C9can't recCall
C All the birthdays I C9must have Cmissed
Am C[Fill 1] Fm
Your first steps and your first kiss
C I don't even know if you C9know my Cname
Am G[bass] C[Fill 1} Fm
But you should hear the truth before it's too late
[Chorus 1]
So I hope this fCinds you, on some highGway
F Cause I'm a long time rCambler,F I call the road myC home
F Forgive my indiscCretion, it's the oGnly way I know
F A million miles from KentCucky, but I will Amalways Gbe aroCund Fm
So turn the rCadio up when your hC9eart breaks Cdown
[Verse 2]
I've pClayed for tips and I've pC9layed for lCess
I played a pCretty southern girl right oC9ut of her dCress
She Cdanced until the lC9ights came oCn
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
But there's a reason she's here instead of being at home
She said "the sCongs you sing make the wC9hole room cCry"
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
And that night I told a young man's lie
[Chorus 2]
When I said I would cCall her, and I said I'll wGrite
F Cause I'm a long time rCambler,F I call the road myC home
F Forgive my indiscCretion, it's the oGnly way I know
F A million miles from KentCucky, but I will Amalways Gbe aroCund Fm
So turn the rCadio up when your hC9eart breaks Cdown
Turn the rCadio up when your hC9eart breaks dCown C/B
[Bridge]
Am I'm sorry for the Am/Gtears I made you cDsusry
I'm sorry for the promises that turned to lies
Am If I could turn Am/Gback the hands of tDsusime
I'd take it back and try, try, try
To Ammake you understand, that tDsushis is who I am C C9 C
[Verse 3]
C I met the devil in an C9old motCel
C It seems I ain't got much of a C9soul to sCell
C My glass is empty, my hC9ands are Cblue
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
And the doctor gave me 'bout a month or two
Well I tChought I would make it to C9you this yCear
Am G C[Fill 1] Fm
So forgive me one last time my dear
[Chorus 3]
And tell your Cmother, I won't be coming hGome
F Cause I'm a long time rCambler,F I call the road myC home
F Forgive my indiscCretion, it's the oGnly way I know
F A million miles from KentCucky, but I will Amalways Gbe aroCund Fm
So turn the rCadio up when your hC9eart breaks Cdown
Turn the rCadio up when your hC9eart breaks dCown
