Life On The Road Chords by The Kinks

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ever since I was a child I [C#] loved to wander [F#m] wild through the bright city lights
[B] Find myself a life I [E] could call my own
[D] _ [B] It was [A] always my ambition to [C#] see Piccadilly
[F#m] Ramblin' Rome around the [B] Soho, [E] Pimlico and Savile Row
[A] Walk down the Abbey Road
_ [E] So I saved all [D] my money
_ [E] I packed up my [D] clothes
And I [F#m] said goodbye to my friends and my folks [E] back home
_ _ _ [D] And I left [B] for [E] a life of [F#m] my own
_ _ [D] _
I left [E] for a life [A] on the road
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] I'm the real [E] Hooli Jai
[A] And I know [E] what I like
[A] And I [E] know where I'm going
[A] Through [E] the bright city lights
[D] Oh yeah, oh [E] yeah, it's time I moved [F#m] to Piccadilly
_ [D] _ _
I've done [E] for a life [A] on the [E] road
Give me [A] life on the road
[E] No, [A] a life on the road
[E] Give me [A] life on the road
[E] _ _ _ [A] Well, when [E] I arrived in Coonston
[F#] I was little [D] more than a child
[A] I kept [E] moving and dancing
[D] So [A] much I could get a while
Mama [E] always told me
[F#m] The city ladies were [D] partying broke
[A] So it's not [E] a thing to catch a kiss with a [D] lady
But all that I [A] thought was a joke
[E] God's a step [D] up, city women
Didn't notice me walk by
Now I [F#m] got the golds and the shoes
I've been walking the [E] streets all night
_ [D] But I'm living [E] a life, [F#m] not a [D] joke
_ _ Living _
[A] _ _ [E] a life
Give [A] me life on the road
[E] I said [A] life on the road
[E] I want life on the road
Life on the road
[A] I was driving with [E] a folks at Green [F#m] Street
When a [D] 19-year-old walked away
[A] Said, hey, how [E] you doing?
They come out to [D] play and I was cool
I went [A] and said, okay
Ever [E] since I was knee-high
[F#m] I thought the city was my [D] favorite goal
[A] And as we sing
When [E] you lose it, darling, [D] I'll lose it
Tired of being [A] bought and sold
[E] City women, [D] I'm a tease
[E] But I'm living [D] life to please
All of [F#m] the bloodshed I've done
I've been walking the [E] streets all night _ _
[D] But [E] I'm living a life, [F#m] not a joke
[D] _ _
_ [E] Living a life
[A] On the road
[E] Give me [A] life on the road
[E] I want [A] life on the road
[E] Life [A] on the road
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] One of these days I'm [C#] gonna go back [F#m] home
See all my friends
Visit the places [E] I used to [D] know
_ [A] Say goodbye [C#] to a world that's cruel
[F#m] Goodbye to a world [B] that's forgot the kind of [E] fear _
_ And it's slowly using [Bm] me
And there's no [D] security
Sometimes [F#m] I hate the road
But it's the only life [E] I know
_ _ _ But I'm [B] living the [E] life, [F#m] not a joke
[D] So _ I live out my [E] life _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ Give me [A] life on the road
I want life on the road
