"Roads"
by Jess Williamson
tabbed by: Jim Ferraiolo (jmfguitartabs@gmail.com)
This is just a simple three chord song, but it is beautifully sung and stays with you.
When the solo break
happens, A Major Pentatonic will do you just fine, just try to stay close to the changes
and don't noodle
too much. It's not a song for noodling.
[Intro]
A Bm D A
[Verse 1]
A Bm
Find what's freely given, real love will come to you
D A
It's good a town as any, to be terribly confused
A Bm
City of dreamers, it's a city aflame
D A
But I don't miss the seasons and I don't need the rain
A Bm
'Cause you've given me something I can't explain
D A
You got a face like the moon controlling the waves
A Bm
When I'm swimming in cold water, you watch me from the shore
D A
You're a zephyr in the desert, shakes me to the core
[Chorus]
A
Got a hurricane in my heart for you
Bm
Hailstorm in my head
D
Tornado blowing through my bones
A
And there's flooding up ahead
A
It's a long ways to paddle
Bm
A deep well to tread
D
All the roads we didn't travel
A
Everything we left unsaid
[Break 1]
A Bm D A
[Verse 2]
A Bm
We all have a darkness, me and my closest friends
D A
Tell me all your stories, tell me who you been
A Bm
Give me every detail, of the thirsty women
D
Who craved you in their wild days
A
And now, they're home with kids
A Bm
I have a love of freedom, I guess I always did
D A
Was a runner as a child, and now I'm doing this
A Bm
If any man could hold me, he'd be like you, real strong and big
A D
He'd let me get so lonely, that I'm begging for a kiss
[Chorus]
A
Got a hurricane in my heart for you
Bm
Hailstorm in my head
D
Tornado blowing through my bones
A
And there's flooding up ahead
A
It's a long ways to paddle
Bm
A deep well to tread
D
All the roads we didn't travel
A
Everything we left unsaid
[Break 2]
A Bm D A
A Bm D A
[Chorus]
A
Got a hurricane in my heart for you
Bm
Hailstorm in my head
D
Tornado blowing through my bones
A
And there's flooding up ahead
A
It's a long ways to paddle
Bm
A deep well to tread
D
All the roads we didn't travel
A
Everything we left unsaid
