DARK ROAD - Richard Hawley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: standard
This is a pretty straight forward song to play. The other tab has got the chord
progression completely wrong, as well as putting it in the wrong key.
Main riff (arranged for single guitarist):
(1 bar) (1 bar) (2 bars)
e|-----------2---------0-----------0---------|
B|-----------3---------0-----------2---------|
G|-----------4---------1-----------2---------|
D|-----------4---------2-----------2---------|
A|-------0-2-2---------2-4-2-0-2-4-0---------|
E|-0-0-2---------------0----------------|
N/C
It’s a long dark road
That I call my home
()
It’s a long dark road
That I’m cursed to roam
These many nights I’ve been banished here
(xx0222)
My companion is the stars
With a bed-roll and a blanket
And just the rocks to lay my bones
One day from the darkness
I’ll come rapping at your door
And I’ll never walk this road any more
Solo (I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley
plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes):

Outro:
x4 (fades out on the album)
And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but
otherwise it should work fine!
