Chris Rea - Road To Hell Part 1 2 Chords

Part 1:
============================
Am
Stood still on a highway
        E
I saw a woman
                    Am
By the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own
                 E
Reflected in my window
         Am
Well she walked up to my quarterlight
        D
And she bent down real slow
          Am            E
A fearful pressure paralysed me
      Am
In my shadow
                            E     Am
She said "Son, what are you doing here?
                                    E
My fear for you has turned me in my grave"
        Am
I said "Mama, I come to the valley of the rich
D
Myself to sell"
          Am               E       Am
She said "Son, this is the road to Hell"
         Am
On your journey 'cross the wilderness
          D
From the desert to the well
          Am               E          Am
You have strayed upon the motorway to Hell


Part 2
==================================

        Am
Well I'm standing by the river,
        D
But the water doesn't flow.
F                   E
It boils with every poison -
        Am
You can think of.

        Am
And I'm underneath the street light,
    Dm
The delighted of joy I know,
F                E
Scared beyond belief,
                Am
Way down in the shadows.

        C
And the perverted fear of violence,
G
Chokes a smile on every face,
F                         E
A common sense is ringing, out the bells.
     Am                          Dm
This ain't no technological breakdown,
   F               E       Am
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.

           C
And as the roads jam up with credit,
G
And there's nothing you can do,
F
It's all just bits of paper,
E
Flying a way from you.
   Am
Oh look out world take a good look,
D
Look who's down there,
F                                (E)          Am
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.

     Am                       D
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway,
   F                 E
Oh-no, this is the road,
            E
This is the road,
            E        Am
This is the road ... to hell.
