Dark Road by Richard Hawley
Dark Road
Dm
It’s a long dark road
C
That I call my home
Dm
It’s a long dark road
C
That I’m cursed to roam
Dm G
These many nights I’ve been banished here
C Am
My companion is the stars
Dm G
With a bed-roll and a blanket
C Am
And just the rocks to lay my bones
Dm G
One day from the darkness
C Am
I’ll come rapping at your door
Dm G C
And I’ll never walk this road any more
It’s a long dark road
That I call my home
It’s a long dark road
That I’m cursed to roam
These many nights I’ve been banished here
My companion is the stars
With a bed-roll and a blanket
And just the rocks to lay my bones
One day from the darkness
I’ll come rapping at your door
And I’ll never walk this road any more
Dm G C Am
No I’ll never walk this road any more
Dm G C Am
No I’ll never leave this home any more
