Hey Driver chords

[Chorus]
          Am       G               C         F
So take me down a road that's a little bit windy
       Am              G           C             F
To a place where they still put sugar in their iced tea
           Am         G           C       F
Where the women are fine and the love is fair
     Am               G      C           F
Hey driver, you can drop me off anywhere
 
 
[Verse 1]
     C                  F                     C
Hey driver, pull on over, I'm in a fight with God
     F            C             G                     C
This Carolina shoulder seems the place I'm gettin' off
C                            F                C
Daddy always told me never make a home on the road
             F             C             G               C
While your lady's sneakin' out and the kids are growin' old
        C                         F                C
Hey driver, I've been ridin' this lonely way too long
         F                C              G           C
All the love I had worth givin' was all spent on my song
        C                                F                    C

Hey driver, the boys are gamblin' with more than just their cards
             F                C                G                C
With their bottles and their drugs, and their Bibles and their hearts
 
[Chorus]
          Am       G               C         F
So take me down a road that's a little bit windy

To a place where they still put sugar in their iced tea
           Am         G           C       F
Where the women are fine and the love is fair
     Am               G      C           F
Hey driver, you can drop me off anywhere
     Am               G      C           F
Hey driver, you can drop me off anywhere

        F            C             G               C
The Klonopin ain't kicked in and I missed my sister's call
        C                        F                C
Hey driver, I'm so tired of the ways of this old world
        F               C             G                   C
Let's drive until the tires melt we'll come back when it's healed

To a place where they still put sugar in their iced tea
           Am         G           C       F
Where the women are fine and the love is fair
      Am               G      C          F
Hey driver, you can drop me off anywhere

Chorus and Verse Chord Progression:
The chorus introduces a captivating progression of Am, G, C, F, setting
an inviting tone that carries throughout the song. This progression is echoed
in the verses, maintaining the song's reflective and narrative-driven atmosphere.

Am (A Minor): Index finger on the 1st fret of the B string, middle finger on the 2nd
fret of the D string, and ring finger on the 2nd fret of the G string.
G Major: Index finger on the 2nd fret of the A string, middle finger on the 3rd fret of
the low E string, and ring finger on the 3rd fret of the high E string.
C Major: Place your index finger on the 1st fret of the B string, middle finger on
the 2nd fret of the D string, and ring finger on the 3rd fret of the A string.
F Major: For a simpler version, place your index finger on the 1st fret of
the B and E strings, middle finger on the 2nd fret of the G string, and ring finger
on the 3rd fret of the D string. For a full barre chord, bar all strings at the 1st fret
with your index finger, and form an E major shape with the rest of your fingers.

Guitar Lesson Summary:
- Start by familiarizing yourself with the chord shapes and practicing the transitions
between them. The smooth movement between these chords is key to capturing
the song's emotional tone.
- Consider the strumming pattern that best fits the song's reflective mood.
A pattern that combines downstrokes and upstrokes can add dynamics
and depth to your rendition, with a focus on letting each chord resonate.
- Pay attention to the dynamics of your playing, especially during the chorus,
where you can emphasize the song's hopeful and reflective messages through
more forceful strumming or a slight increase in volume.
- Use the instrumental section to provide a musical breathing space, allowing
the listener (and player) to reflect on the song's themes. This section can be
played with a lighter touch to differentiate it from the verses and chorus.
- Reflect on the lyrics as you play. The guitar accompaniment should serve as
a backdrop that enhances the storytelling, conveying the nuances of longing,
reflection, and the search for a place where one can find peace and happiness.
