The Road and the Sky Jackson Browne
[Verse 1]
G Gaug G Gaug
Highways and dance halls A good song takes you far�
[G]You writ[G/F#]e about the [Em]moon And you d[C]ream a[C/B]bout the s[Am]tars
G Gaug G Gaug
Blues in old motel rooms Girls in daddy's car
[G]You sing[G/F#] about the n[Em]ights And you [C]laugh [C/B]about the sca[Am]rs
G Gaug G Gaug
Coffee in the morning cocaine afternoons
[G]You talk[G/F#] about the weat[Em]her And you [C]grin [C/B]about the ro[Am]oms
G Gaug G Gaug
Phone calls long distance To tell how you've been
[G]Forget a[G/F#]bout the los[Em]ses, you [C]exaggerate [C/B]the win[Am]s
[Cborus]
[Em]And when you stop [Am7]to let 'em know [A7]You've got it do[C]wn
N.C C C/B A7 D7 G
it's just another town along the road

The ladies come to see you If your name still rings a bell
[G]They give you [G/F#]damn near [Em]nothin' And [C]they'll s[C/B]ay they knew you [Am]well
G Gaug G Gaug
So you tell 'em you remember But they know it's just a game
And [G]along the [G/F#]way their [Em]faces All [C]begin to [C/B]look the s[Am]ame

[G]You stalk a[G/F#]bout the ro[Em]oms And you[C] roll a[C/B]way the [Am]miles
G Gaug G Gaug
Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
[G]You're right a[G/F#]bout the [Em]moon But you're [C]wrong [C/B]about the s[Am]tars
[Cborus]
[Em]And when you stop [Am7]to let 'em know [A7]You've got it do[C]wn
N.C. C C/B A7 D7 G
it's just another town along the road
