Key: G

(The recording is in G, but very flat -- you'll need to tune down if you want
to play along with it.)

 Gsus2                   Csus2
  they crisscross in the dark
                      Am7
  on the outskirts of Urbana
           Csus2                  Gsus2
  like the lines on the old man's hand
  they roll beside the tracks
  and the woods outside of Chester
  in dots and broken dashes on the map
  and some are dry and cracked
  and some are washed away
  some linger on like a fading tattoo
  and they go to forgotten places
  and they all have secret names
  like Hardin's Run and Old Route 22

G          D     Em7
  will you be my friend
        C
  can I take you to the end
G         D       Am7        C
  can you show me where I've been
G         D       Em7     C
  can you say you knew me then
G              D       Am7 C
  it's just my requiem

Gsus2 Csus2 Am7 Csus2

  I'm riding on a dirt road
  in early summer in the dark
  I never thought this place would be so wise
  and the living room lights
  from the houses on the hills
  roll on by, disappear before my eyes
Em                 D
  and I follow the lines
                    G/B
  traced out by the power lines
                       Csus2
  beyond the ridge and out of sight
Am7   Csus2
  but not out of my mind

[chorus:]
G          D     Em7
  will you be my friend
        C
  can I take you to the end
G         D       Am7        C
  can you show me where I've been
G         D       Em7     C
  can you say you knew me then
           G           D           G/B         Csus2
this is my gravel road requiem, my gravel road requiem

G/A
  (engine burns) engine burns
G/C                        Em
  and I'm sleeping with my eyes half open
D
  roll down the window to stay awake
G/C              Csus2                       C/A
  this ain't the place to come looking for a change
                    Csus2/NB
  I'm the one who's older, all my roads all look the same
Gsus2                Csus2
  just waiting on my muse
                Am7
  to sing me to sleep
                        Csus2
  just looking for inspiration
  in the gravel at my feet
  just looking for a back road
  to teach me something about me
  just looking out for something
  a little lonelier than me

[chorus]

G          D     Em7
  will you be my friend
        C
  can I take you to the end
G         D       Am7        C
  can you show me where I've been
G         D               Em7              C
  can you say you knew me then, this is my gravel road
  G        D        Csus2
  requiem (requiem),       my gravel road
