| Hit the Road |
You found it! My attempt at a road geek anthem, this is the first song
to mention both Interstate 238 and Bud Shuster. I was bitten by the road bug
while in elementary school. I've tried to capture some of that feeling here.
If your system can play a MIDI file (try it!) here's music for two verses and two "hit the ro-oad" choruses. (I kept the file small; just imagine it repeating.) The vocal is played by trumpets on track 2; if you mute that, you can sing karaoke. If you can't do MIDI, you can at least strum the chords and make up your own melody. It's 4/4, 144 BPM, 2 bars per lyric line. Chords are followed by number of beats. Verse chords: B (12), F# (4), B (4), E7 (4), B (2), F# (2), B (4). Yeh, sounds like every other 3-chord moron song you've heard since Green Day came out. Chorus chords: F# (4), E (4), C#m (2), C#m9 (2), F#sus4 (2), F# (2), B9 (1), B (1), E (2 counts), A (1), Em (1), C (1), D (1), Em (1), F#m (1), G (1), A (1), B (4). Well, now that's a little more interesting.
