Thousand Roads

Thousand Roads (From the Thousand Roads album)
E (w RIFF)

I used to walk around with my eyes on fire

My nerves real close to my skin

Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek

We would skate where the ice got thin

CHORUS #1:

G/F# G D A (Em11)

And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on the hill

G D A (Em11)

And smoke blowin' down in the street

G D A (Em11)

Some kind of sweet smelling mystical backdrop

G D A

To the story unfolding at my feet

Now there's an edge to the twister I throw back in the air

There's an edge to the twist of the knife

There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there

Just around the corner from life

CHORUS #2:

And I, I have no answers

I got no patented path to set you free

Besides, I wouldn't know where you wanted to go

And it's probably not the same place as me

Now there's a thousand roads up this mountain

You can get lost in a minute if you try

And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today

And looking this close in your eye

CHORUS #3:

I said there's a thousand roads up this mountain, yeah

You can get lost in a minute if you try

It's probably enough that I was just laughing today

Looking this close in your eye

In your eye

In your eye
