[Intro]
G F C x2

[Verse 1]
G
Early in the morning when
the sun does rise
F
Layin' in the bed
     C               G
with bloodshot eyes
Late in the evenin'
when the sun sinks low
     F
Well that's about time
   C              G
my rooster crows
I got women up and down this creek
         F
And they keep me going and
   C             G
my engine clean
Run me ragged but I don't fret
             F
'Cause there ain't been one
        C             G
slow me down none yet

[Chorus]
G
Get me drinking' that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the highwall
F                         C
Throw'em in the river and get
your fill
G
We been sniffing that cocaine
F                             C
Ain't nothin' better when the wind
cuts cold
G
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
      F                    C
But a damn good feelin' to run
these roads
G F C G F C

[Verse 2]
G
I got people try to tell me, Red
F
Keep this livin' and
       C             G
you'll wind up dead

Cast your troubles on
the Lord of Lord's
   F
Or wind up laying on
  C              G
a coolin' board

But I got buddies up White House Road
         F
And they keep me strutting
        C              G
when my feet hang low

Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain
    F                        C
And all this running's gonna keep
me sane

[Chorus]
G
Get me drinking' that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the highwall
F                         C
Throw'em in the river and get
your fill
G
We been sniffing that cocaine
F                             C
Ain't nothin' better when the wind
cuts cold
G
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
      F                    C
But a damn good feelin' to run
             G
these roads
       F                    C
It's a damn good feelin' to run
these roads
G F C

[Verse 3]
G
When you lay me in
the cold hard clay
         F
Won't ya sing them hymns
          C            G
while the banjo plays
You can tell them ladies
that they ought not frown
             F
'Cause there ain't been
             C             G
nothing ever held me down
C
Lawmen, women or a shallow grave
Same ol' blues just a different day

[Chorus]
G
Get me drinking' that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the highwall

Throw'em in the river and get
your fill
G
We been sniffing that cocaine
F                             C
Ain't nothin' better when the wind
cuts cold
G
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
      F                    C
But a damn good feelin' to run

these roads

It's a damn good feeling to run

these roads

How to play Whitehouse Road: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Whitehouse Road by Tyler Childers on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Whitehouse Road by Tyler Childers sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 3 chords to play it: G, F and C.

Most of the song cycles through G – F – C – G (V – IV – I – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes E, D, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
