[A]
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 she [A] walked up to my quarter light
And she bent [D] down real slow A fearful [A] pressure paralyzed [E] me
In my [A] shadows She said, son, what are you [E]
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]
Myself to sell She said, [A] son, this is the [E] road to [A] hell
On [Em]

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

[F] As soldiers bid to leave [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 upwardly mobile [Dm]
