Road to hell  Interpret/autor: Chris Rea 
 
Em 
Well I'm standing by the river, 
Am 
But the water doesn't flow. 
C                   H 
It boils with every poison - 
        Em 
You can think of. 
 
Em 
And I'm underneath the street light, 
Am 
The delight of joy I know, 
C                  H 
Scared beyond belief, 
                Em 
Way down in the shadows. 
 
G 
And the perverted fear of violence, 
D 
Chokes a smile on every face, 
C                         H 
Common sense is ringing, out the bells. 
Em                          Am 
This ain't no technological breakdown, 
C                  H       Em 
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.

G 
And as the roads jam up with credit, 
D 
And there's nothing you can do, 
C 
It's all just bits of paper, 
H 
Flying a way from you. 
Em 
Oh look out world take a good look, 
Am 
Look who's down there, 
C                          H                  Em 
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well. 
 
Em                            Am 
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway, 
C                  H 
Oh-no, this is the road, 
C                 H 
Said this is the road, 
C           H        Em 
This is the road ... to hell.
