Subject: Lyrics/Music to Rocks On The Road

In 'A NEW DAY' it was mention that there has been some guitar changes.
A recent picture of Ian shows him playing a Guld acoustic. After all
these years he's putting the Martin-0016NY in the closet. I wonder if
Barre has put down the Hamer?

Here is Rocks On The Road. Ian is notorious for capo on 3rd fret and
does it once more. Why the 3rd fret? Well his voice is relax in this
range. I notice on the last tour he moved Mother Goose from the 5th
fret to the 3rd. Also the flute is easier to play in the keys of C
and F.

In this song play the Cm just above the capo as if you were playing an
Am on an open guitar on frets 1 & 2. Play Bb as a G, Fm as a Dm, and
Ab as F. When playing the Cm hammer your fingers on the 3rd and 4th
strings seprately.



             ROCKS ON THE ROAD

Cm
                    Bb              Cm
There's a black cat down on the Key side
              Bb                        Fm
Ship's light, green eyed glowing in the dark
Cm            Bb            Ab  Cm   Ab
To young cops handing out a big debt
                              G    G7
Know how to hurt and leave no mark
      Cm          Bb                  Cm
We're down in the half lit bar of the hotel
          Bb                             Fm
There's a call for the last round of the day
                                      Ab
Push back a stool, take that elevator ride
                        Bb     Cm
Fall in bed and kick my shoes away
               Ab                  Fm

You call for the young boys heading for a fight
                                             Ab
Long distance telephone keeps ringing out of gage
                        Bb     Cm
Wonder who your talking with tonight
               Ab                         Fm

Tire coming wakes me in the morning
                 Bb                     Fm
Shower runs hot, runs cold playing with me
Cm             Bb        Ab     Cm                Ab
I'm up for the downside, life invention, all that stuff
                       Eb             G7
So come and shake some apples from my tree
Cm                 Bb  Ab     Cm
Have to pay on the minibar manners
         Bb             Fm  F Fm
Itemized phone bill overload
                                   Ab
Well I'm, now how about some heavy road
                 Bb     Cm
Move these rocks on the road
       Ab                 Fm    Bb Cm
On the road, rocks on the road, mumhum

Cm Bb Ab Gm    Cm Bb Ab Gm  Fm

                     Eb    Bb Fm
Crumbs on a breakfast table
                                     Eb       Gm
And a million other little things to spool my day
Bb                       Db
How about a little light music
                 Fm                 Dm
To chase it all away, chase it all away
