Stan Rogers – Skyway (Guitar)

     D
Well I was left driving late in the evening

    G            A             D
The sun had just split for the coast

       D
In the back they're all sleeping from hitting the wine

    G           A               D
But I was still straighter than most

G                        A
Watching the last of the clear purple twilight

Bm                        C
turning the road to blood wine

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

      D
Well me and my good friends we come a long way

G           A           D
Still got a long way to go

  D
Tonight I've been playing the songs in my head

       G                A      D
'Cause out here there's no radio

    G                             A
And out in the darkness there's a young girl awaiting

      Bm                        C
She's thumbing her way down the road

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

       D
I said Hi, toss your pack way up in the back

G            A            D
Sit down and ease up your load

     D
come sit here beside me and keep me awake

    G       A             D
And help me relate to the road

G                      A
She wasn't talking not smiling or nothing

     Bm                          C
So I reached in the back for the wine

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

        D
Well my hands got unsteady, 'cause I wasn't ready

     G           A          D
For something as foolish as this

     D
Some teenaged Madonna who hitched from Toront-a

       G                A          D
With a mouth that ain't never been kissed

    G                      A
And then she was talking a voice dressed in muslin

Bm                   C
Words like razors in bread

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D
As we go rolling down the skyway

      C                 G            Bb           D
She's talking 'bout the space that's come between us

     C       G       Bb    D
(As we come rolling down)

      C                 G       Bb          D
She's talking 'bout the boat we all have to row

     C       G       Bb    D
(As we come rolling down)

      C                 G            Bb       D
She's talking 'bout the friend she's found in Jesus

     C       G       Bb    D
(As we come rolling down)

      C                 G      Bb          D
She's talking 'bout how far we all have to go

     C     G           Bb
How far we all have to go

D     C          G    Bb
As we go rolling down

D     C          G    Bb
As we go rolling down

D     C          G    Bb  D
As we go rolling down the skyway
