Life On The Road
------------------
Written by: R.D. Davies

A
Ever since I was a child,
C#m
I loved to wander wild
F#m
Through the bright city lights,
Bm E D
And find myself a life I could call my own.
C#m Bm A
It was always my ambition
C#m
To see Piccadilly,
F#m Bm
Ramble and roam around Soho
E
And Pimlico and Savile Row,
D C#/D Bm/D A
And walk down the Abbey Road.
E D
So I saved all my money
E D
And packed up my clothes,
F#m
And I said good-bye to my friends
E
And my folks back home.
D Eb/D E F#m D
And I left for a life of my own.
D Eb/D E A E A E
I left for a life on the road.
A (R&R pattern) E
I'm a real hungry tyke,
A E
And I know what I like.
A E
And I know where I'm goin':
A E7
To those bright city lights.
D D#
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
E F F#m E D C#m D E
This time I'm gonna get there.
D D# E A
I'm bound for a life on the road.
E A
Give me life on the road.
E A E
I said life on the road.
A E
When I arrived in Euston,
F#m D C#m D E
I was little more than a child.
A
And I didn't know then
E
That the dives and the dens
D C#m Bm A
Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild.
E
Mama always told me
F#m D C#m D E
The city ladies were bawdy and bold.
A
And so I searched night and day
E
To catch a kissable lady,
D C#m Bm A
But all that I caught was a cold,
E D
'Cause those stuck-up city ladies
E D
Didn't notice me walk by.
F#m
Now I've got holes in my shoes
E
'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night.
D D# E F F# E D C#m D E
And I'm livin' the life that I chose.
D D# E A
Livin' my life on the road.
E A
I said life on the road.
E A
I want life on the road.
E A E
Life on the road.
A E
I was standing with the punks in Praed Street,
F#m D C# D E
When a muscle man came my way.
A
He said, "Hey, are you gay?
E
Can you come out and play?"
D C#m Bm A
And like a fool, I went and said, "O.K."
E
Ever since I was knee high,
F#m D C#m D E
I thought the city was paved with gold.
A
But I've seen so many losers
E
And down and out boozers
D C#m Bm A
Who were tired of bein' bought and sold.
E D
City women are a tease,
E D
But I'd really love to please.
F#m
Now I've got blood shot eyes
E
'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night.
D D# E F F#m E D C#m D E
And it sure knocks you out on the road.
D D# E A
And I'm livin' my life on the road.
E A
I said life on the road.
E A
Life on the road.
E A E
I want life on the road.
A
One of these days,
C#m
I wanna go home,
F#m
Visit my friends,
Bm E D C#m Bm
And see all the places that I used to know,
A C#m
And say good-bye to a world that's too real;
F#m Bm E D C#m Bm
Good-bye to a world that's forgotten how to feel.
E D
And it's slowly usin' me,
E D
And there's no security.
F#m
Sometimes I hate the road,
E
But it's the only life I know.
D E F#m
But I'm livin' the life that I chose,
D E A
So I'll live out my life on the road.
E A
Give me life on the road.
E A
I said life on the road.
(repeat)
