Chords with lyrics
Part 1:
============================
A minorAm
Stood still on a highway
E MajorE
I saw a woman
A minorAm
By the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own
E MajorE
Reflected in my window
A minorAm
Well she walked up to my quarterlight
D MajorD
And she bent down real slow
A minorAm E MajorE
A augmentedA fearful pressure paralysed me
A minorAm
In my shadow
E MajorE A minorAm
She said "Son, what are you doing here?
E MajorE
My fear for you has turned me in my grave"
A minorAm
I said "Mama, I come to the valley of the rich
D MajorD
Myself to sell"
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
She said "Son, this is the road to Hell"
A minorAm
On your journey 'cross the wilderness
D MajorD
From the desert to the well
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
You have strayed upon the motorway to Hell
Part 2
==================================
A minorAm
Well I'm standing by the river,
D MajorD
But the water doesn't flow.
FF E MajorE
It boils with every poison -
A minorAm
You can think of.
A minorAm
And I'm underneath the street light,
DmDm
The delighted of joy I know,
FF E MajorE
Scared beyond belief,
A minorAm
Way down in the shadows.
C majorC
And the perverted fear of violence,
G+G
Chokes a smile on every face,
FF E MajorE
A augmentedA common sense is ringing, out the bells.
A minorAm DmDm
This ain't no technological breakdown,
FF E MajorE A minorAm
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.
C majorC
And as the roads jam up with credit,
G+G
And there's nothing you can do,
FF
It's all just bits of paper,
E MajorE
Flying a way from you.
A minorAm
Oh look out world take a good look,
D MajorD
Look who's down there,
FF (E MajorE) A minorAm
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.
A minorAm D MajorD
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway,
FF E MajorE
Oh-no, this is the road,
E MajorE
This is the road,
E MajorE A minorAm
This is the road ... to hell.
