Bend In The Road chords by Chris Cornell

Guitar chords with lyrics

*****************************************************************************
NOTE: This is pretty close to the version on the album, but I took the liberty
of making a few minor changes. In other words, this is not exactly as played by
Chris Cornell, but my interpretation of the song!
This is such a fantastic tune, and one of my personal favorites from Higher Truth.
Hope you like my transcription! Enjoy;)

      G           Em           C         G
Put a bend in the road I'm too lost and tired
                 Em    C              D
To see where I'm going, what I left behind
       Em         Bm  G7            G           C
And I'm moving so slow, don't know when I'll arrive
         Em          G                 C    D            G
So put a bend in the road, I'm growing tired of straight lines

  G           Em       C                      G
I set off for the shore, that was far less I away
                Em    C                    D
From the ones I adored, in the place I was raised
      Em            Bm G7        G           C
And I roam down the road just to watch it go by
         Em         G           C      D   G
And when nowhere is love? Maybe nowhere am I

Am               G           Am           G
Everyone needs a touch, or a shoulder for crying
        Em        A7    C               D
The say love is a crutch, I say love is blind
           G            Em                   C        G
And that?s all that she needed, that I could not supply
                   Em           C  D      G
With a bend in the road, put it out of my mind


Solo

G  Em  C  G
        Yeah!
G  Em  C  D  G


Am                   G             Am         G
Met a strange little girl, who was everything I
     Em              A7  C            D
ever dreamed I could love or be loved by

         G            Em  C                G
So put a bridge, or a hill, or a forest of pines
              Em  C               D
Or a river of blue I can run alongside
         Em              Bm   G7                    C
And I'll sleep when it's night, I'll follow all the signs
           Em          G                 C    D            Em    A7
Just put a bend in the road, I'm growing tired of straight lines
      C           G                 C   D(stop)         G
Put a bend in the road, I'm growing tired of straight lines
