The Midnight Road

written 2005-2006

CAPO I

INTRO: Bm

Bm Em A Bm

Strollin' along the Midnight Road, somewhere south of town

Bm Em A Bm

I fell into a ring of doubt, somehow I got turned around

A Em Bm

Demons from Hell descended on me

A F# A Bm

While somewhere in the dark a devil chortled with glee

Bm Em A Bm

Whistlin' a tune under my breath, heard it on the radio

Bm Em A Bm

Spelled death for me in a melody, the words whispered soft and low

A Em Bm

Blood lay in a puddle in the road

A F# Em Bm

Skeletons rattled in my closet way back home

CHORUS:

A E

The Midnight Road, the Midnight Road

Em Bm

Lined with broken bottles and pots of gold

A E

The Midnight Road, the Midnight Road

Em F# Bm

Saints behold I'm walkin' the Midnight Road

Bm Em A Bm

Lost in the shadows cast by the fire, I'm a lonely forgotten man

Bm Em A Bm

Whiskey on my breath I can taste my tears, Lord help me understand

A Em Bm

Was surrounded by angels, woe what has happened to me

A F# Em Bm

The rattle of chains, a voice whispers son you're free

CHORUS

Bm Em A Bm

Tempted by fate, tossed by the sea, blown by the winds of time

Bm Em A Bm

Howl to the Moon and He answers back, His voice like the finest wine

A Em Bm

No way to go when you can't turn back

A F# Em Bm

Signpost ahead it says son you're way off track

CHORUS (2x)

Bm Bm Em A Bm

Strollin' along the Midnight Road, somewhere south of town
