[Verse 1]
 
Am                    G           Fmaj7    Am
 There's a black cat down on the quayside.
Am                G                        D Dadd11 D
 Ship's lights, green eyes glowing in the dark.
Am               G             D Dadd11 Fmaj7
 Two young cops handing out a beating:
Dm            C                 E7
 Know how to hurt and leave no mark.
 
Am            G        Fmaj7      Am
 Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel
Am                       G                 D Dadd11 Fmaj7
 There's a call for the last round of the day.
Dm                                        Fmaj7
 Push back the stool, take that elevator ride.
         Fmaj7           G     Am
Fall in bed and kick my shoes away,
                Fmaj7               Dm
Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away.
      G       Am
Rocks on the road.

[Verse 2]
 
Am                        G         Fmaj7      Am
 Can't sleep through the wild sound of the city.
Am                   G                        D Dadd11 Fmaj7
 Hear a car full of young boys heading for a fight.
       Dm                                     Fmaj7
 Long distance telephone keeps ringing out engaged:
         Fmaj7             G      Am
Wonder who you're talking with tonight.
                Fmaj7
Talking with tonight.
                        Dm
Who you talking with tonight?
      G       Am
Rocks on the road.

Am               G       Fmaj7    Am
 Tired plumbing wakes me in the morning.
Am                 G                      D Dadd11 D
 Shower runs hot, runs cold playing with me.
Am                     G
 Well, I'm up for the down side,
          D       Dadd11      Fmaj7
Life's a bitch and all that stuff:
Dm                      C             E7
 So come and shake some apples from my tree.
 
Am                   G       Fmaj7  Am
 Have to pay for my minibar madness.
Am               G        D Dadd11 Fmaj7
 Itemized phone bill overload.
        Dm                      Fmaj7
Well now, how about some heavy rolling?
         Fmaj7   G       Am
Move these rocks on the road.
        Fmaj7
On the road
              Dm
Rocks on the road.

 Crumbs on the breakfast table.
Dm                                      C       E
 And a million other little things to spoil my day.
G
 Now how about a little light music
Fmaj7              Dm
 To chase it all away?
 
To chase it all away.

Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away.

Rocks on the road.
