[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 [E] my 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] shadow
She said, son, what are you [E] doing [A] here?
My fear for you has turned me, in my [E] grave
I [A] said, mama, I've come to the palley of the rich, [D] my cell to sell
She said, [A] son, this is the [E] road to [A]
hell
[Em] [A]
[G] [A] On
[E]
your [A] journey, across the wilderness, [Am] from the [D] desert to the well
You have [A] strayed upon the [E] motorway to [A] hell
You are free
Only
[Am]
[Dm]
[F] if [E]
[Am]
you are not [Dm] a [F] sinner
[E]
Well, [Am]
I've stood by a river, [Dm] but the water doesn't flow
It [F] boils with every [E] poison you [Am] can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight, [Dm] the delight and joy I know
[F] Scared beyond [E] belief, we're down [Am] in the shadows
And [C] the perverted fear of violence, [G] chokes the smile on every face
[F] And common sense is ringing [E] out the bell
[Am] This ain't no technological [Dm] breakdown
Oh [F] no, this [E] is the road [Am] to hell
[Dm]
[G]
[Dm] [C] [G]
[Am]
[Dm]
[F] [E]
[Am]
[C] And our roads jam up with credit, [G] and there's nothing you can do
[F] A soldier's 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 upwardly mobile [Dm] freeway
Oh
[F] no, this is [E] the road
[F] This is [E] the road
[F] This is [E] the road [Am] to hell
[Dm]
[F] [E]
