I said, "Ed Belly watched telly in a highway motel room"
                             C#                    F#m             B
Well, he felt at ease in the tat and sleaze in the neon midnight     gloom
E                              A                E
For so long, every song in his heart and in his head
                 C#              F#       B       E
He fantasized, romanticized, the lonesome life he led
E                                                       A                   E
Well, he sang about anti-heroes, drifters, weirdos, big dreamers from small towns
            C#                      F#m         B
Cyberpunks, grifters, drunks, and retired rodeo clowns
    E                                 A                  E
The dispossessed, the dissipated, the desperate, and the damned
          E                  C#                  F#      B           E
Well, the lower the dog, the higher the cat, the more he loved their band
E

And for years, he waited with bated breath
        A                  Am
Through clouds of skag and crystal meth
   E               C#
He waits so patiently for death
         F#m             E
With the quick and the unbruised
E
With sunken eyes, he scanned the earth
    A                     Am
His head down so low, his neck did hurt
      E                 C#m
It's a small wonder his spine's not curved
F#         B       E
  Kept his head so low

Yes, but all the while, his ears were tingling
    A                     D
For troubled souls have a song worth singing
E                       C#             F#m           E
Yeah, Hell's bells were ding-a-linging all along the road
         F#m   B                   E
I said, "All
all along that road"
