[A]
Stood still on the highway I saw [E] a woman by the side of the [A] road
With a face that I knew like my own Reflected in my [E] window
Well [A] she walked up to my quarter light And she [D] bent down real slow
A fearful [A] pressure paralyzed
[E] me In my [A] shadow
She said, son, what are [E] you doing [A] here?
My fear for you has turned me in my [E] grave
I said, [A] mama, I've come to the valley of the rich
[D] My self to sell She said, [A] son,
[E]
to [A] hell
On [Em]

your [A] journey across the wilderness [Am] From [D] the desert to the well
You have [A] strayed upon the [E]
motorway To [A] hell

[F] [E]
[Am] Well I'm standing by the river But the [Dm] water doesn't flow
It
[F] boils with every [E] poison you can [Am] think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight But the [Dm] light of joy I know
[F] Scared beyond [E] belief [Em] We're down in [Am] the shadows
[B] And [C] the perverted fear of violence Chokes [G] the smile on every face
[F] And common sense is ringing out [E] loud This
[Am] ain't no technological
[Dm] breakdown
Oh [F] no, this is [E] the road to [Am] hell

[F] I saw these bits of paper [E] flying away from you
[Am] Oh look how well, take a good look, what [Dm] goes down here
You [F] must learn this lesson [E] fast and learn [Am] it well
This ain't no upward-mobile
[Dm] freeway This [F]
is [E] the road
