Romi Mayes - Hard Road
(Album: Archin in yer bones)
My first tabs - i hope it sounds good!
A
Tonight the night´s hours, are longer than the days
F#m
It´s been plenty good weeks counted since I upped and went away
D
it´s shirly ain´t the first time, I know it´s not the last
E
but there´s something in the highway, changing from the past
Where one would sit for coffe, there´s a second empty chair
And where one would shoot a whiskey, Conversation´s bare
and I been shuttin my eyes tightly, whith my arms over my ears
I put myself beside you, Miles away from here
A E
It´s been a long hard on out on the road
F#m D
When I get back home, when I get back home
A E
Turn the lights down low, turn up the radio
F#m D
come lie with me, come lie with me
F#m E A
it´s been a long hard road
I know I haven´t called, Don´t pay that no mind
I´m never sure I´ll find the words, make it be all right
I don´t want you to worry, I don´t want to let you down
All I got´s another story, from another nameless town
In the bars the lonely faces, are Looking back in mine
And I picture us together, by the jukebox singing lines
So I grab a roll of quarters and I pick em one by one
The couples they all two step, though the band has long been done
Soon I slip out of the back door, light a cigarette
No one expects a salutation so I leave my beer and get
Maby I´ll come home early maybe show up in the night
But my feet keep on walking to the neon motel light
A E
It´s been a long hard on out on the road
F#m D
When I get back home, when I get back home
A E
Turn the lights down low, turn up the radio
F#m D
come lie with me, come lie with me
F#m E A
it´s been a long hard road
