Elbert West - Side Of The Road Chords

Side of the Road
Miller/West


INTRO: D  G  D  A  D

        D
Left my bank book and a credit card, a good car with a full tank of gas
G
Watch me loose and hangin' on to things that make you hang on to the past
    D
Ah, she's the only reason I was neck deep in that over time each day
        A                                                            D
And if she don't love me anymore I ain't got one good reason left to stay


CHORUS:
        G                                                       D
So I'll walk a little farther, convince myself I'm really goin' somewhere
    A                                        
The wind from the big rigs nearly knocks me off my feet
              D
And leaves me wadin' thru the diesel in the air
        G                                                                   D     Bm
And the last few days the weather has been on my side but all day long it's rain
    D                        A                      G          D
And no one gives a ride to a man on the side of the road these days


INTRO


Huddled 'neath this overpass, everything I own is soakin' wet
I've been prayin' for some tender heart to pick me up but it ain't happenin' yet
I don't blame the cars that pass me by, in these times you can't really trust no one
I found that out four days ago when I left her lyin' in another's arms


CHORUS


SOLO:  G  D  A  D

       G                                                         D     Bm
Now it used to be if a man was free his thumb could take him any place
    D                        A                      G          D
But no one gives a ride to a man on the side of the road these days
                           A                       G          D
No one gives a damn about a man on the side of the road these days
