The Road Chords by Jackson Browne

_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Highways and dance halls, a good song takes you far.
You write [Em] about the moon and you dream about the [E] stars.
_ [G] Blues in old motel rooms, girls in daddy's cars.
You sing [Em] about the nights and you laugh about the scars.
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [G] Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoon.
_ You talk about [Em] the weather [C] and you grin about [Am] the rooms.
[B] _ _ [G] Phone calls long distance, they tell you how you've been.
You forget about [Em] the losses, you exaggerate [A] the win.
[E] When _ [Em] _ [A] you stop to let [Em] them know you [C] got it down. _ _ _
It's just another [D] town along [G] the road. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ [G] Ladies come to see you if your name still rings a bell.
They give you damn [Em] near nothing and they'll say they knew you well.
[A] So [G] you tell them you remember, but they know it's just a game.
And along the way [Em] their faces all begin to look [Am] the same. _
_ [Em] When you [Am] stop to let them [Em] know you got [C] it down. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's just another [Am] town along [G] the road. _
_ _ _ Well [G] it isn't for the [Cm] money and it's only for a [G] while.
You stalk [Em] about the grooms and you roll [Am] away the miles.
_ _ [G] Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars.
You write about [Em] the moon, but you're wrong about the [Am] stars. _ _
[Em] Cause when you stop [C#] to let them know [C] you got it down. _
_ _ It's just another town [G] along the road. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
