Subject: /w/Lucinda.Williams/SideOfTheRoad.crd SIDE OF THE ROAD (Lucinda Williams) ----------------------------------- Each chord is half of a measure. The song is recorded in E, but I play it in C, capoed up 4 frets. C G Am F G G [intro] C G Am F G G You wait in the car on the side of the road C G Am F G G G G Lemme go and stand awhile, I wanna know you're there but I wanna be alone Dm F C G If only for a minute or two Dm F C G I wanna see what it feels like to be without you Dm F C G I wanna know the touch of my own skin Dm F C G G G G Against the sun, against the wind I walked out in a field, the grass was high, it brushed against my legs I just stood and looked out at the open space and a farmhouse out a ways And I wondered about the people who lived in it And I wondered if they were happy and content Were there children and a man and a wife? Did she love him and take her hair down at night? If I stray away too far from you, don't go and try to find me I doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I won't come back and stay beside you It only means I need a little time To follow that unbroken line To a place where the wild things grow To a place where I used to always go La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la La la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to be without you I wanna know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind [The song ends on G.]
