Fastball - The Way

Verse:

F# minorF#m
They made up their minds
         B minorBm
And they started packing
    C#C#               F# minorF#m
They left before the sun came up that day
    F#F#          B minorBm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F# minorF#m             C#C#
But where were they going without ever
        F# minorF#m
Knowing the way?

F# minorF#m
They drank up the wine
        A minorAm
And they got to talking
C#C#                  F# minorF#m
They now had more important things to say
F#F#                  A minorAm
When the car broke down they started walking
F# minorF#m             C#C#
Where were they going without even
        F# minorF#m   E MajorE
Knowing the way?

Chorus:

           A augmentedA
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
     E MajorE
Is paved with gold
F# minorF#m
It's always summer
       C#7C#7
They'll never get cold
       D MajorD
They'll never get hungry
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
They'll never get old and grey
          A augmentedA          E MajorE
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
     F# minorF#m
They won't make it home
     C#7C#7
But they really don't care
     D MajorD
They wanted the highway
     A augmentedA       E MajorE   C#7C#7
They're happier there today

Verse 2:

F# minorF#m
Their children woke up
          B minorBm
And they couldn't find them
    C#C#             F# minorF#m
They left before the sun came up that day
   F#F#                  B minorBm
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
F# minorF#m            C#C#
But where were they going without ever

        F# minorF#m   E MajorE
Knowing the way?


Chorus 2:

           A augmentedA
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
     E MajorE
Is paved with gold
F# minorF#m
It's always summer
       C#7C#7
They'll never get cold
       D MajorD
They'll never get hungry
       A augmentedA       E MajorE
They'll never get old and grey
          A augmentedA          E MajorE
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
     F# minorF#m
They won't make it home
     C#7C#7
But they really don't care
     D MajorD
They wanted the highway
     A augmentedA       E MajorE   C#7C#7
They're happier there today
