Chords for The Kinks - Life on the Road (stereo)

Ever since I was a child, [C#] I loved to wander [F#m] wild through the bright city lights
I'd [B] find myself a [E] life I could call my own _
[A] It was always my ambition [C#] to see [F#m] Piccadilly
Ramblin' Rome [B] around Soho and [E] Pimlico and Saff
I [D] walked down the [Bm] Abbey [A] Road, so I [E] saved all [D] my money
[E] And packed up my [D] clothes, [F#m] and I said goodbye to my friends and my folks [E] back home
_ And I left for a [F] life [F#m] of my own
_ [D] I _ [B] left for a life [A] on the road
[E] _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] I'm a real hungry type, and I know [E] what I like
_ And I know where I'm going, [A] to the bright [E] city lights
Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's [F] time I'm gonna [F#m] get there
_ _ [D] I'm [D#m] bound for a life [A] on the road
[E] Give me life on the road, I said life on the road _ _ _ _
[A] When I arrived [E] at Houston, [F#m] I was little more than a child
[A] And I didn't know then that the thousands of tales would be so vulgar and wicked and wild
Mama always told me, [F#m] city ladies were [D] bawdy and bold
[A] So I searched night and day [E] to catch a kiss of the lady, but all [B] that I caught was a cold
Cause [E] those stuck-up [D] city ladies [E] didn't notice me [D] walk by
[F#m] Now I've got holes in my shoes, [F#] cause I've been walking the streets [E] all night
_ [D] But I'm living, [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ living [E] life [A] on the road
[E] I said [A] life on the road, [E] I want [A] life on the road, [E] _ [A] life on the road
[E] I _ _ [A] was standing with the [E] punks in 3rd Street, [F#] when a muscle man [D] came my way
[A] He said, hey, how you [E] gay, can you come out and [D] play?
And like a fool I went and [A] said okay
Ever [E] since I was knee high, [F#] I thought the city was [D] made with gold
[A] But I've seen so many [E] losers and down and up losers who were tired of being [A] bought and sold
[E] City women [D] are a tease, [E] but I'd really [D] love to please
[F#m] Now I've got bloodshot eyes, cause I've been walking the streets [E] all night
And it sure knocks you out, [F#] _ _
[D] _ but I'm living [E] life [A] on the road
I [A] said life on the road, [E] life [A] on the road, [E] I want life [A] on the road
[E] _ _ _
[A] One of these [C#] days, I wanna go [F#m] home, visit my [B] friends, see all the places [E] that I used to know
_ [A] _ Say goodbye [C#] to a world that's too real, bye to [B] a world that's forgotten how to feel
[E] _ _
[D] And [E] it's slowly [D] using me, [E] and there's no [D] security
Sometimes [F#m] I hate the road, but it's the only life [E] I know
_ But [D] I'm living the life [F#m] I chose, [D] so I'll [B] live _
[E] life [A] on the road
_ Give me life on the road, [E] I said life on the road, I [A] said life on the road, [E] give [A] me life on the road
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
