Electric Light Orchestra – Long Black Road (Guitar)

E
They used to tell me boy you ain't goin' nowhere

E
With your cheap guitar and your big long hair

E
You gotta realize all your responsibilities

E
You gotta get out to work and face reality

           D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

        A
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road

E
So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin

E
I couldn't find my way I didn't know what I was doin'

E
I saw a lot of people coming back the other way

E
So I kept on goin' when I heard them say

           D
"you gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

        A
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road"

E
I made a lot of money I was makin' quite a mess

E
But they all told me money wouldn't bring me happiness

E
"you gotta work like a man in a real man's life

E
You're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife"

          D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

        A                                    E
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road

          D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

        A                                    E
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road

          D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

        A                                    E
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
