Turn the Page

Bob Seger

Verse 1

 Em
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
 D
You can listen to the engine, moanin' out its one note song
 AEm
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before . . .
 Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
 D
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
 AEm
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through .
 DEm
Here I am, on the road again
 DEm
There I am, up on stage
 DA
Here I go, playing the star again
 CDEm
There I go, turn the page

Verse 2

 Em
You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
 D
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
 AEm
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode . . .
 Em
Most times you cant hear 'em talk, other times you can
 D
All the same old cliches is that a woman or a man
 AEm
And you always seem outnumbered, you dont dare make a stand .

Chorus

 Em
 Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
 D
 Every ounce of energy you try to give away
 AEm
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play . . .

Verse 3

 Em
 Later in evening, as you lie awake in bed
 D
 With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
 AEm
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said . . .

Chorus

can anyone recommend a good strum pattern??
jefflareau (report comment to admin):
Try alternating on your tonic notes (ie for the A chord hit the open A and E alternately) and build on that thru the song getting stronger as you go. Just how I like to play it, not how Seger does it...

i play it with a basic  ,dw, paus, dw, up,up,dw,dw,up,dw,up,dw simple and sounds great
