Thousand Roads Tab

THOUSAND ROADS- David Crosby

E (w RIFF)
I used to walk around with my eyes on fire
My nerves real close to my skin
Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek
We would skate where the ice got thin

CHORUS #1:
                                                 (Em11)
     And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on the hill
                                  (Em11)
And smoke blowin' down in the street
                                           (Em11)
Some kind of sweet smelling mystical backdrop
                             
To the story unfolding at my feet

Now there's an edge to the twister I throw back in the air
There's an edge to the twist of the knife
There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there
Just around the corner from life

CHORUS #2:
And I, I have no answers
I got no patented path to set you free
Besides, I wouldn't know where you wanted to go
And it's probably not the same place as me

Now there's a thousand roads up this mountain
You can get lost in a minute if you try
And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today
And looking this close in your eye

CHORUS #3:
I said there's a thousand roads up this mountain, yeah
You can get lost in a minute if you try
It's probably enough that I was just laughing today
Looking this close in your eye

In your eye
In your eye
