[D]
[A] [Bm]
[D]
[A] [D]
[Em] [D]
[G] [D] Carnival is what you dare, [Em] flesh farewell, soul [D] goes bare
Your face is just a mask you wear, the masks [Em] are hidden faces
[B] All night long and far and [Em] wild, the devil is the [D] falling star
He knows who you really [Bm] are, and he walks [Em] in hidden places
[D] On the road, on the road, [G] on the [A] road to [D] San Diego
[G] The [D] wicked howl, won't you scrawl, [G] night [D] come down
If you get [G] stung, [A] we'll walk [Bm] out while our minds are sure
[G] And the devil walks behind us, on the road to San [A] [D] Diego
This [Em] [D]
[G] [Em] [D] is what the devil [Em] sells, broken vows and broken [D] spells
Voices out of empty wells, [G] fire in [Em] [Bm] December
Burning horses, burning [Em] trees, that's the climb of our knees
[D] Missing days and missing [G] keys, dreams you can't remember
[D] On the road, on the road, [G] on the road [D] to San Diego
The wicked howl, won't you [G] scrawl, trees go [D] dancing with awe
We'll walk out [Bm] while our minds are [G] sure
And the devil [Em] walks behind [G] us, on the road [A] to San [Bm] Diego
Holy bandits, band of hoes, all the end of all the roads
[Am] [G] [A] Halfway up, slippery slope, that's where you'll find [B] us
[C] [G] [B] We met the devil strolling round, on the midnight side of [G] town
[A] He said, halfway up, that's halfway [G] down, there's no need [A] to remind us
[G] You don't need to [A] remind [D] us
On the road, on the road, [G] on the [A] road to [D] San Diego
[G] The [A] wicked [D] howl, won't you [G] scrawl, trees [A] go [D] dancing with [G] awe
We'll walk [Bm] out while our minds are sure
[G] And the devil [A] walks behind us, [D] on the road, on the road, [G] on the [D] road to San Diego
[G] The [D] wicked howl, won't you scrawl, [G] you won't [D] be who you were [G] before
[A] We'll walk [Bm] out while our minds are sure
And [G] the devil [Em] walks behind [G] us, on the road to [A] San [D] Diego
