[A]
I stood still on the highway I [E] saw a woman by the side of the [A] road
With a face that I knew like my own Reflected in my [E] window
Well she [A] walked up to my quarter light And she [D] bent down real slow
A fearful [A] pressure paralyzed [E] me In my shadow [A]
she said, son what are you [E]
doing?
[A]
My fear for you has turned me in my [E] grave I said [A] mama I've come to the valley of the rich
[D]
Myself to sell She said [A] son this is the [E] road to [A] hell
[Em]
On [A]
[G] [A]
[E]
your [A]
journey across the wilderness
[Am] From the [D] desert to the well
You have [A]
strayed upon the [E]
motorway to [A] hell

[E] [Am]
Well I'm standing by a river [Dm] But the water doesn't flow
It [F]
boils with every [E] poison you [Am] can think of And I'm underneath streetlight
But [Dm] the light of joy I know [F] Is scared beyond [E] belief [Em] way down [Am] in the shadows
And [C] the perverted fear of violence Chokes the [G] smile on every face
[F] And common sense is ringing [E] out the bell This [Am]
ain't no technological [Dm] breakdown
[F] Oh no this [E] is the road [Am] to hell
[Dm]

[E] [Am] And [C] the roads jam up with credit And [G] there's nothing you can do
[F] A soldier's bits of paper [E] flying away from you
[Am] Oh look how well take a good look What [Dm] goes down here
You [F] must learn this lesson [E] fast And learn [Am] it well
This ain't no upward move by [Dm] the freeway This [F]
is [E] the road, [F]
this is the [E] road

This is [E] the road [Am] to hell
