Verse 1
D 
Bm 
So these are circumstances
D 
Leading to my sorry tale
Bm 
I was in a town I didn't know
D 
Bm 
I'd arrived there by rail
D 
Bm 
It all began a week before
D 
The joys of Saturday Night
Bm 
An invite to a party
D 
Bm 
D 
Or watching The Price Is Right
Bm 
Opting for a soirée
D 
For the first time in a year
Bm 
Mixed badly with the revelers
D 
Bm 
Mixed Bacardi, wine and beer
D 
G 
The room moved back and forwards
The dancers did the same
D 
Found refuge in a corner
That's when he asked my name
G 
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
Well this is very nice, I thought
D 
Smiling through the haze
Bm 
As we talked of Auguste Rodin
D 
Bm 
Through to Harold Pinter's plays
D 
Said he play piano
Bm 
D 
Said his name is Steve
Bm 
And in  that situation
D 
Bm 
Why shouldn't I believe
D 
Bm 
That he really lived so far away
D 
Had to make a move for home
Bm 
Scribbled down his address
D 
Bm 
Said he didn't have a phone
D 
G 
Would I like to come to dinner
D 
G 
On Friday of next week
D 
To this I said I'd love to
As he kissed me on the cheek
G 
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
That night I felt so happy
D 
Excited through and through
Bm 
See! The company of strangers
Doesn't always leave you blue
D 
Bm 
Stumbled home contented
D 
Like a cat that got the cream
Bm 
Wake up  a little weary
But I knew it was no dream
D 
Bm 
D 
The next few days were auyiouns
What could I find to wear?
Bm 
What happens if I arrive
And there is no Hope Road there?
G 
My friend said don't be silly
No one does things like that
D 
Now will you get a move on
G 
D 
Bm 
And take off that stupid hat !
D 
Bm 
Made sure I set out early
D 
Made sure I caught the train
Bm 
Got out at the right station
Then of course came down the rain
D 
Followed the directions
Exactly as he said
Bm 
Asked people if they new Hope Road
But they just walked on ahead
D 
I turned left at the junction
Took the fork off to the right
Bm 
Straight over at the crossroads
Then down to the traffic lights
D 
G 
Must have walked those
streets for hours
In the dark and in the cold
D 
Before I really could accept
There was no place called Hope
G 
D 
Road
Bm 
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
So here I am alone again
D 
Indoors by myself
Bm 
D 
The TV, plants, books and I
Bm 
All nearly on the shelf
D 
Next time I'll be more cautions
Next time I Won't be fooled
Bm 
D 
It's another of those basic things
Bm 
You're never taught at school
D 
Let this be a warning
As you wander through the world
Bm 
It makes no difference who you are
D 
Bm 
D 
Be you boy or be you girl
G 
Be very , very careful
When people seems so nice
D 
It's not how that it's expensive
G 
Later on you pay the price
There's no Hope Road
