Capo 4
[Intro]
G C G Em C D G C G Em C D
[Verse 1]
G
M1 again
G
Gone 2am
G Em C D
This slanting road goes on forever
D G
Espresso shot
G
With a petrol stop
Em C D
Cause I will make my way whatever
C
The road so dark
G
The night so deep
C G
But I’ve got promises to keep
C C Am G D C
And I’ve got miles upon miles upon miles to go before I sleep
[Chorus]
C G
By night and day
C G
By motorway
Em C G D
I’ll get there any godforsaken way
G
By road or rail
C G
By sea to sail
Em C G D
If there’s a way home I won’t fail
C
I’ll take my time
G D C
A steady 70 straight down the line
Em D C
Only one thing on my mind
Em D C
Hell or high water come down
G
I’m northbound
[Verse 2]
G
One more late night
G
On the northern line
G Em C D
And up to King’s Cross I will follow
G G
Guitar on back and I’m right on track
Em C D
Always racing with tomorrow
C
And coast to coast
G
I ride alone
C
Just one more ghost
G
On the last train home
C C Am G D C
And I’ve got miles upon miles upon miles to go before I’m home
[Chorus]
C G
By night and day
C G
By motorway

I’ll get there any godforsaken way

Hell or high water come down

I’m northbound
G C G Em C D G C G Em C D
[Bridge]
C
And however far that I go
G D
Toronto to Ohio
C
Vancouver to Chicago
G D
Halfway to Colorado
C
And into Minnesota
G D
And down from North Dakota
C
Into Buffalo, New York
G D
I tell you every time we talk
D C
If I could get to you, I’d walk
G C G Em C D G C G Em C D
[Chorus]
