Last Thoughts On Americana
 
[Verse 1]
 
E
Goin down the road, got this oul guitar
E
Ain't got much for you so ain't gettin' far
E
But all that I see is this pathway of life
E
This road is the lover, on the path where I thrive
 
[Verse 2]
 
E
Flyin' down on some Sunday wet dreams,
E
You know who I am and you see what I mean
E
And I can feel the darkness in you
E
This place is my brother, in its heart where one blooms
 
[Verse 3]
 
E
Goin down the road and I've got my guitar
E
Ain't got much for you so I ain't gettin' far
E
And all that I see is this pathway of life
E
My hand is a lover, your hand where I thrive
 
[Verse 4]
 
E
Flyin' down the road on some Sunday wet dreams,
E
You know who I am and you see what I mean
E
And all that I hear is the darkness in you
E
My hand is a lover, your hand where I bloom
 
[Chorus 1]
 
A B
But you can take it or leave it
C#m7 B
I'm so far behind
A C#m7 B C#m7
It's just a sign of the trouble from a man of the times
 
A B
No could be your answer
C#m7 B
I've heard it quite well
A C#m7 B C#m7
But will fall like a chancer right into this shell
 
E/B E/A
 
E E/A E/B
 
[Verse 5]
 
E
No matter what yer doing if you start givin' up
E/A
If the wine don't come to the top of yer cup
E/B
If the wind's got you sideways with with one hand holdin' on
E/B
And the other starts slipping and the feeling is gone
E
And yer train engine fire needs a new spark to catch it
E/A
And the wood's easy findin' but yer lazy to fetch it
E/B
And yer sidewalk starts curlin' and the street gets too long
E/B
And you start walkin' backwards though you know its wrong
E
And lonesome comes up as down goes the day
E/A
And tomorrow's mornin' seems so far away
E/B
And you feel the reins from yer pony are slippin'
E/B
And yer rope is a-slidin' 'cause yer hands are a-drippin'
E
And yer sun-decked desert and evergreen valleys
E/A
Turn to broken down slums and trash-can alleys
 
E/B E/A
 
E/B
Maybe that's free
 
E/B
Maybe thats me
 
E
 
[Verse 6]
 
E
Goin down the road and I've got my guitar
E
Ain't got much for you so I ain't gettin' far
E
And all that I see is this pathway of life
E
My hand is a lover, your hand where I thrive
 
[Chorus 2]
 
A B
But you can take it or leave it
C#m7 B
I'm so far behind
A C#m7 B C#m7
It's just a sign of the trouble from a man of the times
 
A B
No could be your answer
C#m7 B
I've heard it quite well
A C#m7 B C#m7
But will fall like a chancer right into this shell
 
E/B E/A
Free
 
E
