One for the road

And one for the road 
 
 
       G 
I cry alone at night 
                    F 
Please tell me it's only night 
                     C 
And she's calling me back at night 
                  G 
And she's already home

One for my baby

And one for the road 
 
 
       G 
I cry alone at night 
            F 
There is no friend in sight 
               C 
I love getting back at night 
             G 
But I wish I don't

One for my baby

               G 
This bottle is dried up too 
                F 
And I'll be all cried up soon 
                   C 
I can't see no God on the moon 
                   G 
It's a long way to go 
 
 
           C 
One for my baby

I cry alone at night 
          F 
He's not alone at night 
                 C 
I'll be there my whole night 
                  G 
But I wish it was whole 
 
 
           C 
One for my baby 
F   G   F   C 
One for the road 
C   G   C  F 
One for my baby 
    F   G   F   C 
And one for the road
