Road Drum
View chords used in this chart
{Part 1}
Em
On the road I heard the thundering
Of white guns that were following
Am Em
You came out to help me run o-o-on
Em
Long black hair just like me
Skin like dirt beautiful and smiling
Am Em
A small hole, you told me "follow me to my ho-o-ome"
Am
My mother told me the stories
As her smile began to worry me
Am
Change-orange hair was growing
Pulled my drum, she leaped out for me
Em
In the canyon my drum was broken
Leading threads to a-hummin'
Am Em
Climbed the top to find the door, the hole go-o-one
{Part 2}
Em
She said "come in, I've heard your stories
Yes the spiders, they have told me
Am Em
I'll begin the web to fixing your dru-u-um"
Am
Once again the storm was following
Set trap webs, don't you worry
Am
Soon the night will be feasting
Best stay put til the morning
Em
On the road years later
I passed the fox and the spider
Am Em
Sing the song with my new dru-u-um
