        G5 C5 G5 D5 G5

G5              C5                   G5          D5       
Meet me in the morning     I'll be Happy as a clown
G5                      C5               G5                D5       
You'll just be getting up     And I'll still be getting down
G5                   C5             G5                 D5        
The band is getting tired     But they don't give a damn
E5                               D5             
So blow the girls a kiss     And give the boys a hand

CHORUS:

G5                C5            G5              D5     
You can take the Sunshine     I can take the Moonshine
G5                C5             G5              D5   
You can take the high road     I can take the low
G5                C5               G5              D5    
The later in the evening     The one thing I believe in 
E5                                   G5    D5      G5   
I'm on the Road to Ruin     It's the only way to go

G5 C5 G5 D5
G5 C5 G5 D5 G5

G5             C5            G5             D5   
A penny in my pocket     A bucket in the well
G5                 C5              G5                D5   
Then Saturday was Sunday     And I could hear the bells
G5               C5        G5                   D5   
Deliver me from Evil     Forgiveness and for love
E5                                    D5      
You're heading for confession     And I'm heading to the pub

*CHORUS*

E5                      C5             
Nancy in the corner     Now I'm moving in
E5                                      C5               D5        
I thought I'd take me chances     But I took one on the chin
E5                           C5           
I finally got her number     She wrote it on a cup
E5                                        G5        D5      G5       
But I phoned her in the morning     And I woke her mudder up

E5 E5 C5 C5
E5 E5 C5 C5 
E5 E5 G5 G5 
E5 E5 C5 D5    

G5                       C5             G5                 D5    
She wished that I would go to bed     I only wished her well
G5                    C5                   G5                  D5    
And then she told me Jesus said     that I'd go straight to Hell
G5               C5                 G5                D5    
She's following His footsteps     I'm following my nose
E5                                        G5       D5        G5    
We're heading for the same place     I'll see you down the road

*Chorus* x2 (We're on the road to ruin..)

E5                                G5    D5      G5 
We're on the road to ruin its the only way to go!
