"A Little Gasoline"
Written by Tommy Rogers and Dean Miller
performed by Terri Clark
from her album FEARLESS
Copyright 2000 Mightey Nice Music
Transcribed by Ivan Rakitic

It's always a treat to transcribe a new Terri Clark song because,
besides being Canadian, she is as easy on the eyes as she is on the ears
(but hard on the heart)! ;)  I would recommend that at least one guitar
have a dropped D tuning for a few of the riffs that are performed
between the verses. As usual, I've included the guitar solo in tab for all
of you 'over-achievers!'.  Have fun! :)

INTRO:

 A
Throwing pictures out the window
 G                D
Scattered by the way the wind blows
 A                                         G    (riff #1)
Bye, bye baby, that's the last I'll see of you
 A
Shoebox full of old love letters
      G                  D
I'll tear each one till I'll feel better
       G                                       A (riff #2)
And I won't look back, cause I don't like the view

CHORUS
 D                   A      D
What my heart needs now is rest
        G
So I'm packin' up and I'm headed west
    D            A                    G    (riff #2)
My minds made up, I'll put it to the test
 D                       A     D
Pushing myself and this old machine
 G
Burning fumes and what's left of my dreams
 D               A                  Bm   (riff #3)
Let 'em go, cause I don't need no strings
  A    G                   A         D
Just give me a road and a little gasoline

REPEAT INTRO

     A
We talked in circles 'til the words ran out
        G                          D  (riff #4)
and it all came down to an angry shout
    A                                      G  (riff #5)
Before I knew it, I was in third gear and gone
       A
Well this had been coming for a long, long time
       G                   D            (riff #4)
If I said I'm sorry, well I'd be lying
         G                                       A (riff #6)
If you think I'll never make it, well you'd be wrong

Just give me a road and a little gasoline
