Chords

This is a stripped back acoustic version I've put together, for a gentle strumming style. Very different/easier than the original without all the riffs etc. I couldn't find an acoustic version anywhere so thought I'd give this a go, hopefully for mine and others enjoyment :) [Intro] Am C G x4 [Verse]
    Am                           C  G
The gold road’s sure a long road

Am                                     C    G
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
Am C G Am C G [Verse]
    Am                  C     G
The pack on my back is aching

    Am                           C     G
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
Am C G Am C G x2 [Verse]
    Am                           C  G

Am
I’m no clown I won’t back down

  C                 G                    Am     C G
I don’t need you to tell me what’s going down

Am            C         G         Am     C G

I’m seeing you sinking

Am             C                         G

These boots were made for walking

    Am                                       C     G
The Marquis-de-Sade don’t wear no boots like these
Am C G x2 [Verse]
Am                     C     G
Gold’s just around the corner

Breakdown’s coming up round the bend
Am C G x4 [Pre-chorus]
Am                    C           G
Sometimes you have to try to get along dear

Am                   C                  G
I know the truth and I know what you’re thinking

I’m seeing you sinking

Am             C                         G
 I’m standing alone, you’re weighing the gold

                  Am
I’m watching you sinking
