Washboard Road

Tom : C
F
One hapless day
G
I took my place
F
On a reckless stage
G
Holdin up the rain
F
For the world to see
G
On Olive Street
F G
Where I gave it all away

[Instrumental]
F
G (x2)

[Verse 2]
F
I heard a fox say something
G
He said “I’m not tame
F
But I see you’re looking
G
Looking the other way
F G
You know you can’t involve what you can’t absolve
F G
Because you gave it all away”

[Chorus 2x 2x]
F G
(Will you hold it against me?) When tomorrow comes?
F G
(Will you hold it against me?) When tomorrow comes?

[Bridge]
Am
While I’m headed home
C
Down this washboard road
G F C
I’ll do my best to hold you up along the way
Am
Hold on melody
C
Don’t let go of me
G F C
Even if you can’t arrest me for the day
C
Even if you can’t arrest me for the day

[Outro 2x]
F G
(Haaaaaah, oh oh ohyo oh.)
F G
(Haaaaaah, oh oh ohyo oh, oh ee oh.)
