Road To Nowhere chords by
Tom Russell
Tom Russell

N/A
Verse 1
D

Well, the ditches are on fire
G

And there ain't no higher ground
D

You were a prince in the city of angels, kid

Now you're pawning your clothes
A

in a railroad town
D

Forgiveness is the killer of snakes,
G

amigo, in the gardens of despair
D

Keep your mind on the middle, little brother,
Em
A
D

out on that road to no one

From the polo club in
G

Ibadan to an abandoned church in

Rome
D

You keep thinking you recognize faces

The way flesh is carved
A

like ice over bone
D

Making deals with the wrong

class of people
G

Between a curse and a prayer

There's a thin line between
D

power and glory
Em
A
D

Out on that road to nowhere
G

Row, row, row your little dreamboat
F#m

Silently down the stream

Bankers, cops,
Em

and candlestick makers
A

They're all gone wise to your
D

dirty little schemes
G

You're riding backwards on a blind horse
F#m

In a carnival tent way out there
Em

The tunnel of love was never finished
A
D

Out on that road to nowhere
G
D
Em
A
D


Ashes to ashes
G

Dirt to dirt

You find high on
D

Oxycontin and vodka, kid
A

Why in the hell do you still hurt?
D

Now every day is the day of reckoning

Even the weatherman
G

makes you feel scared

Rise up, dead man,
D

and keep staggering down
Em
A
D

That old broken road to nowhere
G

Oh, your little dreamboat,
F#m

silently downstream

Bankers, cops and can
Em

dlestick makers
A

They're all wise to your
D

dirty little scheme
G

You're riding backwards on a blind horse
F#m

In some carnival tent way out there
Em

Where the tunnel of love's never finished
A
D

Out on that road to nowhere
Em

The tunnel of love was never finished
A
D

Out on that broken road to nowhere

Well, the ditch is on fire
G
D

And there ain't no higher ground

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
