Important Notes: I had to tab the guitar solos in "half time" speed in order to
         make each bar fit on the page in a printable form. In other
         words, each bar is split into two and each note is doubled in
         length to conform to an 80-character horizontal limit.

During the tapping sections when you encounter a T it indicates
         a 17th fret being tapped and immediately pulled-off onto the
         note under the T. The 17 note is barely existent in time and
         in an effort to save space it has been left out - the only time
         a note is tapped during the song is when it's a 17th fret note.

(And the road becomes my bride)
And the road becomes my bride!
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

Carved upon my stone
My body lies but still I roam
Yeah!
