        THE ROAD TO TRAVEL
          BERT SOMMER

NOTE: HIS GUITAR SEEMS TO BE TUNED
   A augmentedA HALF STEP DOWN. THIS TAB IS
   IN STANDARD TUNING.

INTRO: G+G

VERSE:
 G+G
Here it is, it's summertime
E minorEm
 Still I haven't felt my sigh
FF          C majorC
 And the years are over too
 G+G
since I'm gone

 G+G
And my daddy wonders why
E minorEm
How I look and make him proud
 FF       C majorC
But I'll carry on his name
 G+G      FF
when he dies


CHORUS:
E minorEm           B minorBm
 Though the years have had their pain
A minorAm      G+G
I'll continue on again
FF       C majorC      G+G
'Til I find a road that I can travel
 B minorBm  A minorAm      G+G  C majorC    G+G
'Til I  Find my peace, of mine


VERSE:
 G+G
Papa says to straighten out
E minorEm
 Look at what my life's about
FF         C majorC
 Try to use the head that God
 G+G
once gave you

 G+G
And he says I'll be content
E minorEm
 If I take the road he went
FF         C majorC
 But I'll never blame him for
 G+G     FF
what I do

CHORUS:
E minorEm       B minorBm
 Livin' in a house that's high
A minorAm            G+G
It makes you feel your hands are tied
FF       C majorC
I only wish I knew when I
 G+G       B minorBm
could make and break it
 A minorAm   G+G   C majorC  G+G
Finally get inside


BREAK:
 C majorC
Mr. Tunny's seconal
D MajorD
 Surely you will make me fall
A minorAm               BB    B minorBm E MajorE E E MajorE E E MajorE E
 But you drive me into takin' your hand


VERSE:
G+G
 On the road that I've been bound
E minorEm
It seems it's time I settled down
FF        C majorC    G+G
 I gotta stop relying on tomorrow

 G+G
And all I wanna do is sleep
E minorEm
 Every day is like a week
FF          C majorC
 I gotta find some kind of rules
G+G     FF
to follow


VERSE/OUTRO:
G+G
 And my daddy wonders why
E minorEm
 How I look and make him cry
FF        C majorC
 But I'll carry on his name
 G+G      G+G G+G FF C majorC
when he dies
