Sting – Heading South On The Great North Road (Guitar)

Em        Bm     C        D
Many have gone before us now

C          Am          C        D
Many have tried and failed somehow

Em     Bm          C            D
Many a soul on the Queen’s highway

      C      Am          D      Bm
Where many a tail light glowed

          Am       Bm  C      D
With the promise of a better life

           Am   Bm     C     Bm   C  Bm   Am  Bm     C      Bm
Heading South on the Great North Road   South on the Great North Road

Em           Bm       C      D
And only the dark we left behind

      C       Am      C      D
Will chase us as the road unwinds

 C      Bm        C     D
Out of sight is out of mind

      C      Am         D     Bm
With many a debt still owed

          Am    Bm     C       D
And the promise of a different life

           Am   Bm     C     Bm   C  Bm   Am  Bm     C      Bm
Heading South on the Great North Road   South on the Great North Road

     C      Bm        C    D
And many a dog went wandering

    C       Am        D    Bm
To sup on fortune’s dregs

     C      Bm        C        D
And many a dog came straggling home

     C     F#         Bm
His tail between his sorry legs
