Wide Road

• E

Wide Road by Hawkboy from their King Folly EP
    *note for this song*
     Hawkboy plays a lot of songs half a step down. You may want to 
     transpose this a half step up and tune your guitar a half step
     down if you find C more comfortable than B

B for one bar

(Verse 1)
            E    F#   B                  E             F#    B
Gave you a nice wide road, to watch you fall from the tight rope

               C#m        G#m                   C#m              F#m
Now take your sorrys, and stuff 'em, Same old stories, changin' nothin'

      E  F#  B                  E   F#  B
I was on my best, 'til whiskey woke my beast

             C#m       G#m       C#m                  F#m
Now take my hands, uncuff'em, I swear I won't touch another, We will see

(CHORUS)
             E   F# B              F#          G#m
cos you are free to go, you keep sawing at the bone

                 B           C#m        D#m
You've got your head in your own, guillotine

        E             B                 F#     G#m
And now I just wanna know, what's the kamikaze goal 

            B                 C#m      F#
*Why your hangman's already knotted a rope*

               *the last line is different lyrically every time*

INSTRUMENTAL: (B) E F#m B x2
              C#m// G#m//
              C#m// F#//

(Verse 2)
               E   F#  B              E    F#    B
Couldn't you learn at last, all the good weighs less,

              C#m           G#m              F#
Than a little bad, ain't it sad, that's the way it is...chin up

(CHORUS) - *Why the mason's already started on your stone*

(Bridge) - the actual bridge doesn't have chord structure until the last
           line, but the vocals line up with the chords I wrote

E                                     F#
No, you gotta walk back through that mine field

E                                     F#
No, you gotta walk back through that mine field 

E                                     F#
No, you gotta walk back through that mine field

           E                                      F#
You gotta know, you gotta walk back through that mine field

(CHORUS) - *Why you can't be trusted alone* 

INSTRUMENTAL x2 - (B) E F# B x3
                  F# E F#//

End on E
