CAPO 2
Intro: D
D
This road I'm on it's black top and gravel
F#/D G D
It's a faded blue line, this road I travel
G D Bm G
And it's a well worn path it's a cold bar ditchss
D C G A||
It's a brake man sleepin on a dead man's switch-i
[Refrão]
D G A D
And I'm rollin, faster than a locomotive
G A D
Tougher than the edge of the rockies
Bm G A D
Hotter than a smoking gun, ragged as the road I'm on
This road I'm on it's been cracked by the cold
It's been scorched by the sun searched by the soul
And it's a working back breakin' it's a pick axe swinging
It's steel wheels turning on steel rails singing
Chorus
Solo: Bm G D A
This road lies ahead, like life on a brush
It's a virgin canvas, free from human touch
And it's ours for the taking, or the leaving behind
It's a ghost of the past with the future to find
chorus
Bm G A
Chorus
End: Bm G A D
