Heading South On The Great North Road

Tom : Em
Em Bm C D
Many have gone before us now
C Am C D
Many have tried and failed somehow
Em Bm C D
Many a soul on the Queen’s highway
C Am D Bm
Where many a tail light glowed
Am Bm C D
With the promise of a better life
Am Bm C Bm C Bm Am Bm C Bm
Heading South on the Great North Road South on the Great North Road

[Interlude]
Em Bm C D C Am C D Em Bm C D C Bm Em

[Verse]
Em Bm C D
And only the dark we left behind
C Am C D
Will chase us as the road unwinds
C Bm C D
Out of sight is out of mind
C Am D Bm
With many a debt still owed
Am Bm C D
And the promise of a different life
Am Bm C Bm C Bm Am Bm C Bm
Heading South on the Great North Road South on the Great North Road

[Interlude]
Em Bm C D C Bm Em

[Verse]
C Bm C D
And many a dog went wandering
C Am D Bm
To sup on fortune’s dregs
C Bm C D
And many a dog came straggling home
C F# Bm
His tail between his sorry legs
