DARK ROAD - Richard Hawley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Robbie

Tuning: standard
This is a pretty straight forward song to play. The other tab has got the chord
progression completely wrong, as well as putting it in the wrong key.
Main riff (arranged for single guitarist):
Bm(1 bar) E(1 (022100@1)bar) A(2 (x02220@1)bars)
e|-----------2---------0-----------0---------|
B|-----------3---------0-----------2---------|
G|-----------4---------1-----------2---------|
D|-----------4---------2-----------2---------|
A|-------0-2-2---------2-4-2-0-2-4-0---------|
E|-0-0-2---------------0----------------|
N/C BmIt's (x24432@1)a long dark road
E (022100@1) AThat (x02220@1)I call my home
(A) BmIt's (x24432@1)a long dark road
E (022100@1) AThat (x02220@1)I'm cursed to roam
Bm (x24432@1) EThese (022100@1)many nights I've been banished here
A (x02220@1) Dmaj7(xx0222) (xx0222@1)My companion is the stars
Bm (x24432@1) EWith (022100@1)a bed-roll and a blanket
A (x02220@1) Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)just the rocks to lay my bones
Bm (x24432@1) EOne (022100@1)day from the darkness
A (x02220@1) Dmaj7I'll (xx0222@1)come rapping at your door
Bm (x24432@1) E (022100@1) AAnd (x02220@1)I'll never walk this road any more
Solo (I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley
plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes):
Bm (x24432@1) E (022100@1) A(2 (x02220@1)bars) Bm (x24432@1) E (022100@1) A(2 (x02220@1)bars)

Outro:
Bm E A A x4 (fades out on the album)
And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but
otherwise it should work fine!
