Road to Hell en

Road to hell  Interpret/autor: Chris Rea 
 
Dm 
Well I'm standing by the river, 
Gm 
But the water doesn't flow. 
Bb                   A 
It boils with every poison - 
        Dm 
You can think of. 
 
Dm 
And I'm underneath the street light, 
Gm 
The delight of joy I know, 
Bb                  A 
Scared beyond belief, 
                Dm 
Way down in the shadows. 
 
F 
And the perverted fear of violence, 
C 
Chokes a smile on every face, 
Bb                         A 
Common sense is ringing, out the bells. 
Dm                          Gm 
This ain't no technological breakdown, 
Bb                  A       Dm 
Oh-no, this is the road to hell. 
 
Slide Solo 
 
F 
And as the roads jam up with credit, 
C 
And there's nothing you can do, 
Bb 
It's all just bits of paper, 
A 
Flying a way from you. 
Dm 
Oh look out world take a good look, 
Gm 
Look who's down there, 
Bb                          A                  Dm 
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well. 
 
Dm                            Gm 
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway, 
Bb                  A 
Oh-no, this is the road, 
Bb                 A 
Said this is the road, 
Bb           A        Dm 
This is the road ... to hell.
