The Road

Capo 2

I'm there to [G]greet you [A]when your life be[D]gins
You'll start your [G]journey [A]on your knees and [D]hands
I [G]offer many [A]choices an' [D]places [D/C#]you can [Bm]go
'Cause you must [Em]choose '[A]cause I'm just the [D]road

I'm paved with mem'ries, glory and regrets
I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes
You can take all you can hold but if you stumble b'neath your load
Don't blame me; I'm just the road

Chorus:
I'm a [A]million miles before you, I'm a [G]million miles be[D]hind
I'll [A]take you straight and narrow, I'll [G]ramble and I'll [D]wind
So [A]curse my broken [Bb]brimstone or [B]kiss my bricks of [E7]gold
I'm not the [Em]reason, [A]I'm just the [D]road[G][D]

Road to riches, the path of righteousness
Through busy cities, or through a mountain mess
I'll take you through the high way or snake you through the low
But it's your call, I'm just the road

Chorus

Solo

Your last breath is not the death of me
I'll take you on to where your ticket reads
To that place where I hope shinin' angels greet your soul
If they don't, I'm just the road

Chorus

Chorus

So don't you thank me, don't you blame me
When you're at that judgment throne
'Cause I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
