Lee Kernaghan - Freedom Road
This song is actually played in Dropped-D tuning, but I've tabbed it in standard
tuning to make things easier.

I guess [D]everybody knew the way the [A]sergeant knocked her '[D]round,
But he laid down the law in that [G]dusty [D/F#]cattle [Em]town.
The [D]front bar just fell silent when she [A]begged him 'please no [Bm]more',
But [G]no-one inter[D]fered when he [A]slapped her to the [D]floor.
But a [D]young man watched the sergeant leave and [A]knelt down by her [D]side,
And a lost love was re-kindled when she [G]held him [D/F#]in her [Em]eyes.
And in that [D]unexpected moment, two [A]hearts were takin' [Bm]flight,
As [G]down that moonlight [D]highway they [A]sped into the [D]night.
Freedom [D]road, they're [G]leavin' this town be[D]hind.
Freedom [F#m]road, there's no [G]turning 'round this [A]time.
There's no way [D]back [G]when two worlds ex[D]plode,
They're [Em]somewhere [D/F#]out there [G]on that [A]freedom [D]road.
They [D]reached the three ways roadhouse, took the [A]Barkley to the [D]east,
They'd head across to Queensland, get a [G]job out [D/F#]on the [Em]reef.
Then [D]in the rear view mirror they saw the [A]sergeant close be[Bm]hind,
Their [G]hearts were pounding [D]harder as they [A]neared the border[D]line.
Freedom [D]road, they're [G]leavin' this town be[D]hind.
Freedom [F#m]road, there's no [G]turning 'round this [A]time.
There's no way [D]back [G]when two worlds ex[D]plode,
They're [Em]somewhere [D/F#]out there [G]on that [A]freedom [Bm]road.

For the [D]first time in her life, there was a [A]freedom in the [D]wind,
So when they saw the roadblock, 'Don't slow [G]down', she [D/F#]begged of [Em]him.
They [D]rolled and then burst into flames, they [A]didn't stand a [Bm]chance,
In the [G]stillness of that [D]ghostly dawn,[A] they reached their promised [D]land.
Freedom [D]road, they're [G]leaving this world be[D]hind.
