...ROADSINGER... by Yusuf Islam
----------------...............
*from 'Roadsinger' (2009)*
Intro:
C
Verse 1:
C F C
Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat.
C G C G C F, C
People stood and stared, then closed their doors, as he passed.
C F C
He strolled the empty street; kids banged on tin cans.
C G C G C F, C
Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the roadsinger sang.
Chorus 1:
Am G D F C
Where do you go, where do you go, when hearts are closed?
F Am G G7
When a friend be-comes a stranger, nobody wants to know.
Am G D F C
Where do you go, where do you go, when the world turns dark,
F Am G F C F, C
And the light of truth is blown out, and the roads are blocked?
Verse 2:
C F C
He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks,
C G C G C F, C
A child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back.
C F C
Behind a misty glass, on a window-pane,
C G C G C F, C
A little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name.
Chorus 2:
Am G D F C
Where do you go, where do you go, in a world filled with fright,
F Am G G7
Only a song to warm you, through the night?
Am G D F C
Where do you go, where do you go, after lies are told,
F Am G F C F, C
And the light of truth is blown out, and the night is cold?
Interlude: (with Mmm's)
C, F, C
C G C G, C, F C
(x2)
Verse 3:
C F C
Roadsinger rode on, to another land,
C G C G C F, C
Though the people spoke a different tongue; it under-stand.
C F C
They showed him how to share, and took him by the hand,
C G C G C F, C
Showed him the path to Heaven, through the desert sand.
Chorus 3:
Am G D F C
Where do you go, where do you go, to find happi-ness,
F Am G G7
In a world filled with hatred, tears?
Am G D F C
Where do you go, where do you go, if no one cares,
F Am G F C F, C
And every-body's lost, Looking for theirs.
