    All the Road Running

  C (x32010@1)     Am (x02210@1)      GA (320003@1)million miles our vagabond heels
        Am (x02210@1)F (133211@1)          CClocked (x32010@1)up    beneath the clouds
       G7 (320001@1)              Am (x02210@1)    FThey're (133211@1)counting down to show time
        C (x32010@1)       Am (x02210@1)          FWhen (133211@1)we do it for real with the crowds
G7Air (320001@1)miles are owing
          Am (x02210@1)           FBut (133211@1)they don't come for free
         C (x32010@1)            Am (x02210@1)    FAnd (133211@1)they don't give you any for pain
C (x32010@1)                 GBut (320003@1)if it's all for nothing
Am (x02210@1)        FAll (133211@1)the roadrunning's
       CBeen (x32010@1)in vain

     C (x32010@1)                   GThe (320003@1)rimshots come down like cannon fire
    Am (x02210@1)     F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1) 
And thunder   off the wall
          G (320003@1)   G7 (320001@1)   Am (x02210@1)FThere's (133211@1)a man in every corner
    C (x32010@1)                    FAnd (133211@1)each one is giving his all
G (320003@1)        G7 (320001@1)  Am (x02210@1)       FThis (133211@1)is my fife  This is my drum
       C (x32010@1)                   FSo (133211@1)you never will hear me complain
C (x32010@1)                 GAnd (320003@1)if it's all for nothing
Am (x02210@1)        FAll (133211@1)the roadrunning's
        CBeen (x32010@1)in vain

F (133211@1)         GAll (320003@1)the roadrunning
F (133211@1)         CAll (x32010@1)the roadrunning

Well if you're inclined
To go up on the wall
It can only be fast and high
And those who don't like the danger
Soon find something different to try
When there's only a ringin' in your ears
And an echo down memory lane

But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning

The show's packing up
I sit and watch the convoy
Leaving town
There's no pretending I'm not a fool,
For riding around and around
Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
You showed me one time on the plane

But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

A million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
I'm still your man for the roaming
For as long as there's roamin' allowed

There'll be a rider
And there'll be a wall
As long as the dreamer remains

And if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
