Intro

G+G C majorC  G/BG/B  Am7Am7  G+G


         G+G      Am7/D
There's a rugged road on the prairie
G+G
Stretchin' all across the last frontier
              Am7/D
There a stranger strives, solitary
G+G
Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
Am7Am7    G/BG/B     G/DG/D    Am7/D
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Am7Am7      G/BG/B   G/DG/D     Am7/D
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin'
Am7Am7   G/BG/B    G/DG/D C#dimC#dim
Tell me how you come ridin thru
G+G     C majorC   G/BG/B   B7B7
Still surveyin' the miles yet to run
C majorC    G/BG/B   Am7/D      G+G
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come

         G+G       Am7/D
He can blaze the trail tho' the rumblin'
                 G+G
Dims his guidin' light to just a spark
                Am7/D
When the hour is low, he comes tumblin'
                    G+G
But when the moon is high he gives his heart
Am7Am7    G/BG/B     G/DG/D    Am7/D
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Am7Am7      G/BG/B   G/DG/D     Am7/D
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin'
Am7Am7   G/BG/B    G/DG/D C#dimC#dim
Tell me how you come ridin thru
G+G     C majorC   G/BG/B   B7B7
Gainin' steady till this round is run
C majorC    G/BG/B  Am7/D      G+G
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come
      G+G       Am7/D
People far below, chasin' pleasures
G+G
Offer him directions on the run.
              Am7/D
Prophets on the path offer treasures
                   G+G
And tho' he's mighty hungry, he takes none
Am7Am7    G/BG/B     G/DG/D    Am7/D
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Am7Am7      G/BG/B   G/DG/D     Am7/D
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin'
Am7Am7   G/BG/B    G/DG/D C#dimC#dim
Tell me how you come ridin thru
G+G      C majorC G/BG/B  B7B7
Blindly faithful but followin' none
    C majorC    G/BG/B  Am7/D      G+G
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come


         G+G         Am7/D
When the sun goes down at the right time
G+G
He comes a-windin' thru the purple haze
                Am7/D
Just a feather's toucn in the night time
G+G
But it'll color all my weary days.
C#dimC#dim     G+G       C majorC G/BG/B  B7B7
  Shinin' finer than this earthly sun
C majorC    G/BG/B   Am7/D      G+G
On the ragged, rugged road to Kingdom Come
    C majorC    G/BG/B   Am7/D      G+G
On the ragged rugged road to Kingdom Come…
