Levellers – The Road (Ukulele)

Am
Well its headlights, and white lights, and Black Tar Rivers

Am                  F          G              Am
They're dragging me around this country as it withers

Am
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way

Am                  F          G              Am
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today

       F           G           F
And we play and we play and we play

       F           G           F
To every day, every day, every day

      F
Every day

Am
And in the front rooms of old towns far from the city

Am                  F          G              Am
With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity

Am
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere

Am                  F          G              Am
They're torn from the nation, left without a care

       F           G           F
And we play and we play and we play

       F           G           F
To every day, every day, every day

      F
Every day

          Am             G           Am          F
And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word

          Am             G
And we'll rid the bloody world cos

    F                                  F
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay

    G                               F
The one's that always stay make the world go away

    F                                  F
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay

    G                               F
The one's that always stay make the world go away

    F
Go away

Am
Warm night, clear sky, European town

Am                  F          G              Am
Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd

Am
With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice

Am                  F          G              Am
The exiled buskers are happy with their choice
