Album: All The Pain Money Can Buy
Transcribed by: wEiRdDeHi
Here's an easy song that's fun to play (the other TABs weren't as thorough as this one);
chords are easy and it's in standard tuning.
CHORDS USED:
F#m= xxx222
Bm= xxx432
C#= xxx121
F#= xxx322
E= 022100
A= x0220
D= xx(0)232
Verse 1
------
F#m
They made up their minds
Bm
And they started packing
C# F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F# Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m C#
But where were they going without ever
F#m
Knowing the way?
Verse 2
------
F#m
They drank up the wine
Bm
And they got to talking
C# F#m
They now had more important things to say
F# Bm
(And) When the car broke down they started walking
F#m C#
Where were they going without even
F#m
Knowing the way? E
Chorus
-----
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E
They'll never get old and grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#
But they really don't care
D
They wanted the highway
A E C#
They're happier there today
Verse 3
-------
F#m
Their children woke up
Bm
And they couldn't find them
C# F#m
They'd left before the sun came up that day
F# Bm
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
F#m C#
But where were they going without ever
F#m
Knowing the way? E
Chorus
-----
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E
They'll never get old and grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#
But they really don't care
D
They wanted the highway
A E C#
They're happier there today
