A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) With scattered needles everywhere
A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) Thorn at the end of every road
A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) Thorn at the end of every road
A (x02220@1) A (x02220@1)Then the song goes into the chorus and the post
chorus ascending part, call it a bridge if you like.
The A holds on twice as long at the end of the ascending
pattern also.
