[Verse]
         G
When you wake in
 the morning
    D
And I'm not by your side
     C
Just know that I'm
            G
 halfway to Dallas
    G
I'm stoned out my mind
         D
I'm half buzzed
 'bout full time
          C
Since you left me
                 G
 to die here last August
         G
When you make it
 to Nashville
        D
You can tell by
one hat tilt
     C
That that shit
               G
just ain't my scene

       G
I like out of
tune guitars
       D
And takin' jokes too far
       C
And my bartender
            G
 extra damn mean

[Chorus]
                     C      G
So roll where you're rollin'
                       D    G
I'll be prayin' you're fine
                      C    G
Wherever where you're goin'
                  D  G
Stay walkin' that line
                G
'Cause they'll eat
            C        C G
and they'll spit you
                     D G
But you're not their fool
                         C G
They don't know you like Ida
                D  G
Back home on barstools

I'm out on the road
  D
When I'm going I go
       C
I make music with
            G
 all of my friends
       G
I miss your silhouette
         D
Catchin' coastal sunsets
        C
And the sound of that
            G
 rusty door hinge
        G
But that day's bound
 to come when I
D
Finish this run and I'm
C                       G
Rollin' right into your arms
         G
And that bullshit you see
       D
On the late night T.V.
     C
Is a long way from our
        G
 beatin' hearts

[Chorus]
                     C    G
So roll where you're rollin'

Go where you're goin'

How to play Like Ida: key, chords and progression

These are Like Ida chords by Zach Bryan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Like Ida by Zach Bryan is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 3 chords: G, D and C.

Listen for G – D – C – G (I – V – IV – I in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
