Love this song... My favorite off the album. Props to Zapp7 from GBS.com forums
for deciphering the song:
Great Big Sea - Road To Ruin
Intro - G C G D
G C G D G
G C G D
Meet me in the morning I'll be Happy as a clown
G C G D
You'll just be getting up And I'll still be getting down
G C G D
The band is getting tired But they don't give a damn
Em D
So blow the girls a kiss And give the boys a hand
CHORUS:
G C G D
You can take the Sunshine I can take the Moonshine
G C G D
You can take the high road I can take the low
G C G D
The later in the evening The one thing I believe in
Em G D G
I'm on the Road to Ruin It's the only way to go
G C G D
G C G D G
G C G D
A penny in my pocket A bucket in the well
G C G D
Then Saturday was Sunday And I could hear the bells
G C G D
Deliver me from Evil Forgiveness and for love
Em D
You're heading for confession And I'm heading to the pub
*CHORUS*
Em C
Nancy in the corner Now I'm moving in
Em C D
I thought I'd take me chances But I took one on the chin
Em C
I finally got her number She wrote it on a cup
Em G D G
But I phoned her in the morning And I woke her mudder up
Em Em C C
Em Em C C
Em Em G G
Em Em C D
G C G D
She wished that I would go to bed I only wished her well
G C G D
And then she told me Jesus said that I'd go straight to Hell
G C G D
She's following His footsteps I'm following my nose
Em G D G
We're heading for the same place I'll see you down the road
*Chorus* x2 (We're on the road to ruin..)
Em G D G
We're on the road to ruin its the only way to go!
