JETHRO TULL Rocks on the Road chords
Start Jamming...
[Cm] [C]
There's a black cab down [Cm] on the quayside
Ship's [Bb] lights, green eyes, glowin' [C] in the dark
Two young cops [Cm] handlin' out a beating
[Eb]
Know how to hurt and leave [G] no mark
[C]
We're down in the [Cm] hoplite bar of the hotel
There's a [Gm] call for the last round [C] of the day
[Fm] Push back the stool, take that [Ab] elevator right
I fall in bed and kick my [C] shoes away
Kick my [Ab] shoes away, kick my [C] shoes away
Rocks [Cm] on the road, yeah
[C] [Cm]
[C]
Can't sleep to the wild sound of the city
[Cm]
Hear a [Bb] car full of young boys [F] heading for a fight
Long distance telephone keeps [Ab] ringing out the gate
Wonder who you're talking [C] with tonight
Talking [Ab] with tonight
Who you're talking [F] with tonight
Rocks [C] on the road, yeah
Tired plumbing wakes me [Cm] in the morning
[C]
The shower [Bb] runs hot, runs cold, [F] playing with me
[Cm] I'm up for the downside, lots of pitch and [Ab] all that stuff
So come [Eb] and shake some apples [G] from my tree
[C] I have [Bb] to pay for my [C] minivan manners
I [Bb] devised a phone bill [F] overload
Well, now, how about [Ab] some heavy-rollin' [Bb] movies?
Rocks on the [C] road, on [Ab] the road
[F] Rocks on the road, [Bb] [C] mm-hmm
[Gm]
[Cm] [Fm] Crumbs on a breakfast [Eb] table
[Bb] [Fm] And a million other little things to [Eb] spoil [Gm] my day
[Bb] How about a little light [Db] music to chase it [F] all away?
[Dm] To chase it all away
[Bm] [F]
[Bb]
[Dm] [Am] [Dm]

Ships [Bb] lights, green eyes [F] glowin' in the dark
Two [C] young cops handling [Cm] out a beating
[Ab] Know [Eb] how to hurt and [G] leave no mark
[Gm] [Cm] Yeah, down in the half-lit bar of the hotel
There's a [Bb] call for the last [F] round of the day
[Fm] Push back the stoop, take [Ab] that elevator ride
Fall in bed and kick my [Cm] shoes away
Kick [Ab] my shoes away
Kick my shoes [F] away
[C] Rocks on the road
Kick [Ab] my shoes away
Kick [F] my shoes away
