More songs by Shenandoah


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

D                                  G
Riding down the road in my pick-up truck
    D                          A
You better be ready 'cause I'm picking you up
       D                                       G
With a full moon a shining and a little bit of luck
      D                  A         D
We'll run out of gas and maybe get stuck
    G                       D
    We could get lost, baby I don't care
    A                  D
    I ain't worried as long as you're there
      D                              G
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
D                    A       D
Next to you, sittin' next to me
      D                              G
There ain't no place that I'd rather be---
D            A       D
Next to you, next to me


D                            G
Barbecue chicken in aluminum foil
D                        A
Just enough money for my gas and oil
D                                  G
Who needs your shrimp and your caviar
    D                        A       D
I'd sooner have you just the way you are
    G                   D
    Rich people got the money to hold
    A                       D
    Mansion on the hill and diamonds and gold
   D                             G
It can't compare as far as I can see
D                    A       D
Next to you, sittin' next to me
      D                              G
There ain't no place that I'd rather be---
D            A       D
Next to you, next to me


D                          G
Radio playing our favorite song
D                              A
I'll change the station if the news comes on
         D                          G
When the signal ain't coming in too strong
      D                         A         D
We'll make our own music honey, all night long
           G                              D
    If the good Lord's willing when we're old and gray
        A                     D
    The kids are grown up and moved away
    G                      D
    We'll be rocking there side by side
                 E                        A
        With the barbecue chicken and the TV Guide---
           D                              G
Well there ain't no place that I'd rather be
D                    A       D
Next to you, sittin' next to me
         D                              G
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
D            A       D
Next to you, next to me
      D        /E         /F#        G
There ain't no place that I'd rather be---

Next to you, sittin' next to me


        D      G       D
Next to you--- next to me
A       D      G       D    A  D
Next to you--- next to me
