"Love Of The Common People." 

The Road


G	       C	      G
Back home, The familys eating dinner.
		      C			G

Theres a fire, in the fireside warm and bright
				    Am		  C
But I won't be there today, cause I got a debt to pay
	 Am		      D		     Em
And they dont let black sheep stray from the road
	Am		     D		    G
No they dont let black sheep stray from the road


G	     C		    G
My throat is crying out for water
	  C		  G
Lord that wind is blowing cold
				  Am	       C
That guard is watching me, like a hawk up in a tree
	Am	      D		     Em
And I'm longing to be free, from the road
        Am	      D		      G
Yes I'm longing to be free, from the road


G	    C		     G
Every bone, inside my body's aching
		    C		      G
And that guard dont care if I live or die
			       Am	  C
He told me yesterday, son dont try to get away,
	Am		D	     Em
Or I'll lay you down to stay, by the road
	 Am		 D	      G
Yes I'll lay you down to stay, by the road.
