NOTE: This is such a beautiful song: melancholy and strangely uplifting at the same time. Recorded on the piano, here it is transcribed for guitar. If you finger- pick the chords in the basic figure, it sounds quite good but is hard work at this tempo. I play barré chords everywhere, but see what you think... A cool song from one of the great songwriters out there. Enjoy!
INTRO:
[play: DmBbCG] [x4]
VERSE: DmBbCG In the back of a car on a road in the dark, DmBbCG In the stillicide, silently falling snow, DmBbCG I have packed everything that I own in a bag, DmBbCG And I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho,
[play: DmBbCG] [x2]
DmBbCG A poem for leaving, a reason to go, DmBbCG So I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho.
CHORUS: FDmBb 'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me, FDmBb And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free, GmCGmC I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet, GmBbCF My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,
[play: FCFC]
FCFC 'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
VERSE: DmBbCG And oh, I've been dumb, I've been perfectly beautiful, DmBbCG Lain on my back buying lovers with stealth, DmBbCG But I'm sick of you all, and I'm sick of opinions, DmBbCG And I'm sick of this war I wage on myself...
BRIDGE: DmCDmC - F - C I don't know why I'm so gripped to go there DmCDmC - F - C A universe riddle that only I know? DmBbCG Mr. Robert says, "It's all in the head!" DmBbCG Tell me, Phaedrus, what's good, is it Ida-ho?
CHORUS: FDmBb 'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me, FDmBb And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free, GmCGmC I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet, GmBbCF My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,
[play: FCFC]
FCFC 'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
[play: DmBbCG] [x4]
[repeat CHORUS]
[play: FCFC]
FCFC 'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty... CF ...in Ida-ho.
