Chord/Tab song: The Road

capo 3nd fret

[Bm]Well its headlights, and white lights, and Black Tar Rivers
[Em]They're dragging me [G]around this[D] country as it [Em]withers
[Bm]The billboards, signposts, standing in the way
[Em]Tell of the state of[G] the nation[D]s, that we find[Em] today

And we [G]play and we [D]play and we [C]play
To ever[G]y day, every[D] day, every [C]day
Every [G]day

[Bm]And in the front rooms of old towns far from the city
[Em]With beaten up guita[G]rs and hear[D]ts full of pity[Em]
[Bm]The people gather round singing songs from everywhere
[Em]They're torn from th[G]e nation, l[D]eft without a c[Em]are

And we [G]play and we [D]play and we [C]play
To ever[G]y day, every[D] day, every [C]day
Every [G]day

And we'll [Em]rid the bloody [D]world for a [Em]moment in a [G]word
And we'll [Em]rid the bloody [D]world cos
The [C]words that you heard when you were [G]young will always stay
The [D]one's that always stay make the [C]world go away
The [C]words that you heard when you were [G]young will always stay
The [D]one's that always stay make the [C]world go away
Go a[G]way

[Bm]Warm night, clear sky, European town
[Em]Outside the bars sin[G]ging their [D]hearts out to a[Em] crowd
[Bm]With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
[Em]The exiled buskers a[G]re happy wi[D]th their choice[Em]
