The Road Tab

capo 3nd fret


Well its headlights, and white lights, and Black Tar Rivers
                                          
They're dragging me around this country as it withers

The billboards, signposts, standing in the way
                                          
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today

                             
And we play and we play and we play
                             
To every day, every day, every day
      
Every day


And in the front rooms of old towns far from the city
                                          
With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity

The people gather round singing songs from everywhere
                                          
They're torn from the nation, left without a care

                             
And we play and we play and we play
                             
To every day, every day, every day
      
Every day

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


Warm night, clear sky, European town
                                          
Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd

With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
                                          
The exiled buskers are happy with their choice
