Backroads by Lonely The Brave
Backroads
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: E
I think it's played in Drop D but it still sounds good played in standard tuning.
Intro:
E E E E E
C#m C#m A A E E
E
Saw things that the rat saw
A
And my eyes couldn't take them in
E A
Just want to fall here silently
C#m
Into the arms of people I love
A
Under waiting stars as the ships come rolling in
E (B)
But look at the way the faces turn
C#m
Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)
A
If you be the sky then I'll be the bird
E (B)
But look at the way the faces turn
C#m
Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)
A
If you be the sky then I'll be the bird
E E C#m C#m A A E E
E
So the power lines were leaning
A
And all was lost
E
Make a vow with the city lights
A
With your fingers crossed
E
You said I'd be a place and time
A
Said I'd be a man
C#m
Making eyes with a sea of lies
So you understand
A
That you're raping on my dreaming
And you're ruining my best made plans
E (B)
The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you
C#m
The wake is calling, what you gonna do?
A
But your head's gone
And it won't be long
E (B)
The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you
C#m
The wake is calling, what you gonna do?
A
But your head's gone
And it won't be long
E E
E
So the sinners stopped and the villains turned
A E (C#m A)
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
E
Let's meet the mountains and see what they heard
A E (C#m E)
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
E
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
A E (C#m A)
Oh, and I'll be the sky and you be the bird
E (C#m)
I said, I'll be the sky and you be the bird
A E (C#m A) E
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
