Ragged As the Road - Reckless Kelly

E

Verse One:
E           
This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel
       A                     E
It's a faded blue line, this road I travel
           A         E                     A
And it's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
       E        A             B
It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man's switch

Chorus:
          E       A             B   E
And I'm a rollin' faster than a locomotive
A                B           E        C#m                   A
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, hotter than a smoking gun
B                      E
Ragged as the road I'm on

Verse Two:
This road I'm on has been cracked by the cold
It's been scorched by the sun and searched by the soul
And it's a working back breaking, it's a pick ax swinging
It's steel wheels turning on steel rails singing

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental (like verse, end in E into verse three)

Verse Three:
This road lies ahead like life on a brush
It's a virgin canvas free from human touch
And it's ours for the taking or the leaving behind
It's a ghost of the past with the future to find

Chorus:
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, hotter than a smoking gun
B                       C#m  A
Ragged as the road
It's got me rollin' faster than a locomotive
Tougher than the edge of the Rockies, hotter than a smoking gun
Ragged as the road I'm on
