Dark Road Richard Hawley
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: standard
This is a pretty straight forward song to play. The other tab has got the chord
progression completely wrong, as well as putting it in the wrong key.
Main riff (arranged for single guitarist):
Bm(1 bar) E (1 bar) A (2 bars)
e|-----------2---------0-----------0---------| B|-----------3---------0-----------2---------| G|-----------4---------1-----------2---------| D|-----------4---------2-----------2---------| A|-------0-2-2---------2-4-2-0-2-4-0---------| E|-0-0-2---------------0----------------|
N/C Bm
Itā??s a long dark road
[E]That I call my [A]home
[(A)]Itā??s a long dar[Bm]k road
[E]That Iā??m cursed to[A] roam
These [Bm]many nights Iā??ve bee[E]n banished here
A Dmaj7 (xx0222)
My companion is the stars
With a [Bm]bed-roll and a [E]blanket
And just the [A]rocks to lay my [Dmaj7]bones
One [Bm]day from the [E]darkness
Iā??ll com[A]e rapping at you[Dmaj7]r door
And Iā??l[Bm]l never walk thi[E]s road an[A]y more
Solo (I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley
plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes):

Outro:
Bm E A A x4 (fades out on the album)
And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but
otherwise it should work fine!
