Rolling Down The Road
Francis Rossi
One Step at a Time 2010
There are a few 'inflections' in this tune
but all the basic harmony is here! Shuffle feel.
The first bar of the intro is in 2/4 time.
The rest of the intro is in 4/4.
|A| |A| |A| |A...
I can't stop hurting inside
I just can't leave it behind
but I know I'll find the time
to turn around and start again
She needed time to ignore
the things I wanted her for
and I know the way to go
I'm rolling down the road again
|A| |A| |A| |E|
Somebody turn out the light
I'm going home now
the cheap imitation ain't right
so I'm going home now
right now I'm gonna have to fight it
somehow I'm gonna have to say goodbye
It ain't no fun anymore
the times are changing for sure
and I know the way to go
I'm rolling down the road again
|E| |G| |D| |A|
|E| |G| |D| |E|
|E|
right now I'm gonna have to fight it
somehow I'm gonna have to say goodbye
|A| |A|
I'm going home now
the cheap imitation ain't right
so I'm going home now
right now I'm gonna have to fight it
somehow I'm gonna have to say goodbye
Somebody turn out the light
I'm going home now
the lonely vacation ain't right
so I'm going ho - me now
I'm rolling down the road again
I'm rolling down the road again
I'm rolling down the road again - etc to fade...
