The Road

Intro

Dm	Gm 	Bb	F	Gm  x2


Dm
Headlights, white lines, black tar rivers
Gm           Bb         F            Gm
Dragging me around this country as it withers
Dm
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way
      Gm                 Bb                   Gm
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today


            Bb           F              Eb
And we’ll play and we’ll play and we’ll play
          Bb         F        Eb
To every day, every day every day
        Bb
To every day

Repeat Intro


In the front rooms of old towns far from the city
With beat up guitars and hearts full of pity
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere
Torn from the nation, left without a care

CHORUS
         Gm              F          Gm          Bb
And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
          Gm             F
And we'll rid the bloody world cos
      Eb                               Bb
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
      F                             Eb                  Bb
The one's that always stay make the world go away,   go away

Repeat Intro


Warm night, clear sky, European town
Out side the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd
Open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
Exiled buskers, happy with their choice

CHORUS
