Intro riff is played four times then:

B                E
Dominion Road is bending;
A         E     B
under it?s own weight,
B               E
Shining like a strip,
           A      E     B
cut from a sheet metal plate,
E                       Play Intro once
Cause its just been raining.

B                 E(ii)
Janie reached the point where she knew what he
A               E(ii)      B
meant before he opened his mouth,
B                    E(ii)
He couldnt say the same or hed have
A               E(ii)   B
guessed she was moving south, with
E(ii)       B
one of his friends.

                    F#                       E          B
But its getting better now, he found it in him to forgive,
              F#            E                B
He walked the city, and he found a place to live
             F#
In a halfway house,
        E             Play Intro twice
halfway down Dominion Road.


B                          E(ii)
He watched Janes brother sell the house he
A       E(ii)     B
felt no sense of loss,
B           E(ii)
More like a mountain-climber
        A          E(ii)     B
looking back having made it across
    E(ii)     B
the steepest face.

                  F#                E                 B
Oh but hes still climbing, see him trying to cross the street,
              F#                  E                B
He tests his footing, like he was up ten thousand feet
          F#              E              Play shortened intro
above the clouds, halfway down Dominion Road.

But its getting better now, he rests his head on a window sill,
                F#                    E             B
He watches the city, he can see the antennas in the hills
                 F#
From the halfway house,
         E
halfway down Dominion Road.

Last section - play twice
B       F#            C#m(ii)
Halfway down, halfway down
        A      E
Halfway down Dominion Road

End with Intro Riff x4
