Ray LaMontagne - It Takes Me Back Chords

[intro]
G

[verse 1]
G
I spent my life on stages
C
 Calling out the changes
         G
To a pickup band
                                 D
In a tired van broke down in the rain
        G                           C
The tires whine, the moon shines on highway
                    G
signs flyin' by the countryside just shrugs and
          D               G
sighs and looks the other way

[chorus]
C                                    G
Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia
G                                D
Strollin' down the road in Tennessee
G                               C
When I think about the sound of wind through
     Em
hickory
            G
It takes me back
            D
It takes me back
C               G
Where I want to be
         G
Takes me back
            D
It takes me back
      C            G
To where I want to be

[verse 2]
G
I was haulin' ass outta Utah
   C
Runnin' towards Abeline
        G
They'll fry your ass for an ounce of grass
               D
Throw away the key
      G
Now I ain't saying I'm an angel
        C
All I'm saying is I was born free
    G
But I found out what it's all about
          D                  G
When they put those cuffs on me

[chorus]
C                                    G
Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia
G                                D
Strollin' down the road in Tennessee
G                               C
When I think about the sound of wind through
     Em
hickory
            G
It takes me back
            D
It takes me back
C               G
Where I want to be
G
Takes me back
            D
It takes me back
C                  G
To where I want to be

[solo]
G  C  G  D  G  C  G  D  G

[verse 3]
G
All the while that
           C
I was away longed to hold her
                  G
close and say I'm sorry,
                                          D
For everything but there ain't no turning back
G
All the while that I was alone
  C
I longed for her,
                          G
I longed for home but the light

in her eyes was gone
     D               G
Like windows painted black
G
The light in her eyes was gone
     D               G
Like windows painted black

[chorus]
C                                    G
Rollin' through the hills of West Virginia
G                                D
Strollin' down the road in Tennessee
G                               C
When I think about the sound of wind through
     Em
hickory
            G
It takes me back
            D
It takes me back
C               G
Where I want to be
          G
Takes me back
            D
It takes me back
     C             G
To where I want to be
