The verses are just pretty basic chords that you should
aready know
D
We rented a truck and a semi to go
C
travel down the long and winding road
Bb
look on the map I think we’ve been here before
A
close the doors lets roll once more
This is the riff thats played over over the chorus
E——————————————————————-|
B——————————————————————–| On the fourth pass replace the last 2 notes
G——————–| with a Bb and C chord and then play the 2nd–|
D-0-0-0—–0——————————————————–| part of the 1st riff a couple of times
A——-0-2—2——————————————————|
E—————3—————————————————-|
That’s the song in a nutshell and should get you well on your way.
Enjoy.
