Chords for Thousand Roads - David Crosby

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now, they say no good deed goes unpunished, so _ since you have been a wonderful audience,
you're going to suffer for it.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
This is a brand new song, _ _ and it's another one of those [B] Crosby, _ what the hell is going
on in my mind songs. _
_ You gotta understand, if you had lived my life, you would have a lot of these [E] songs. _ _ _ _
And _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [B] there's not much I can do about it, you know.
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ It's called A [Bm] Thousand Roads.
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] I used to walk [Bm] around with [E] my _ eyes on [Bm] fire, _ [E] _
my nerves real [Bm] close to [E] my _ skin.
_ [Bm] I [E] had a _ _ fistful of [G] questions and [E] a brand on my [Bm] cheek.
And [E] we would _ skate where the [Bm] ice [E] got thin.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _
The [D] smoke blowing down [A] from the cabin on the [D] _ _ hilltop.
[G] _ _
The [D] smoke blowing down in [E] the street.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Some [D] kind of sweet [A] smelling, _ _ mystical [E] backdrop [G] to the _ [D] story unfolding [A] at my _ feet.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now there's an edge to [Bm] the twist of [E] an _ acrobat in [B] the air.
[E] And there's an edge to the [Bm] twist of the [E] _
knife.
_ _ [B] And [E] there's a _ hard hearted [Bm] darkness _ [E] _ _
_ hovering [Bm] there, _ [E] just _ around the [B] corner from [E] _
life.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _
And [D] I _ _ have [A] no answers.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
I got no [D] patented path to [A] set you free.
[D] _ _ _ [G] Besides, _ _ [D] I wouldn't know [A] where you wanted [E] to go.
And [G] it's probably [D] not the same place [A] as me.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ Now there's a _ thousand _ [Bm] roads up [E] this mountain.
_ _ [Bm] You can [E] get lost in [Bm] a minute if [E] you try.
_ [Bm] And _ _ [E] it's _ probably [Bm] enough that I was [E] just laughing today.
[Bm] _ _ [E] _
And looking this [B] close in [E] your _ eye.
_ [D] I said [G] there was a thousand _ [D] _ _ roads up this [A] mountain.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
You can get [D] lost in a minute if you [A] try. _
[E] And _ it's _ [G] _ _
probably [D] enough that I was [A] just _ _ laughing today.
And [G] _ _
looking [D] this close in [A] your eye.
_ _ [Bm] In [E] your _ eye.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [B] In [E] your _ _ eye. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Like it? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then I will keep it.
