Verse 1
(D major) Well, the ditches are on fire
And there ain't no higher (G major) ground
You were a prince in the city (D major) of angels, kid
Now you're pawning your clothes
in a railroad (A major) town
Forgive (D major) ness is the killer of snakes, amigo,
in the gardens of des (G major) pair
Keep your mind on the middle,
(D major) little brother,
(E minor) out on that (A major) road to (D major) no one
From the polo club in Ibadan
to an abandoned church in (G major) Rome
You keep thinking you recog (D major) nize faces
The way flesh is carved
like (A major) ice over bone
Making deals with the (D major) wrong
class of people
Between a curse and (G major) a prayer
There's a thin line between
(D major) power and glory
Out (E minor) on that (A major) road to (D major) nowhere
Row, row, row your little dre (G major) amboat
Silently down (F sharp minor) the stream
Bankers, cops,
and can (E minor) dlestick makers
They're (A major) all gone wise to your
dirty (D major) little schemes
You're riding backwards on (G major) a blind horse
In a carnival tent way (F sharp minor) out there
The tunnel of love was never (E minor) finished
Out (A major) on that road to nowhere (D major)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (A major) (D major)
Ashes to ashes
Dirt to dirt (G major)
You find high on
Oxycontin (D major) and vodka, kid
Why in the hell do you still (A major) hurt?
Now every day is the (D major) day of reckoning
Even the weatherman
makes (G major) you feel scared
Rise up, dead man,
and (D major) keep staggering down
That (E minor) old (A major) broken road to (D major) nowhere
Oh, your little dre (G major) amboat,
silently down (F sharp minor) stream
Bankers, cops,
and can (E minor) dlestick makers
They're (A major) all wise to your
dirty (D major) little scheme
You're riding backwards on (G major) a blind horse
In some carnival tent way (F sharp minor) out there
Where the tunnel of love's never (E minor) finished
Out (A major) on that road to nowhere (D major)
The tunnel of love was nev (E minor) er finished
Out (A major) on that broken road to (D major) nowhere
Well, the ditch is on fire
And there ain't no higher (G major) ground (D major) (D major) you
The Road to Nowhere
