Sorrow Is a Highway
guitar tabs lyrics
Tabbed by AJ C.
Key E minor
This is a pretty number off Town by Town. It's fairly simple. I am going by the
album version since I have not heard them play it live.
Intro:
Em G C D G
Verse 1:
G
My heart is like the white line
C D C D G
Divided, separated in these feelings over you
G
My mind, it is also like the white line when without a bassist,
C D C D G walk down G G/F# G/F
Endlessly searching, a man without a clue
Chorus:
Em G D
You've got me thinking there's a fire down below
C G D G
'Round and 'round in circles is as far as I can go
C G G/F# Em
Same old repetition, feeling up and down again
G C D*
Sorrow is a highway
C D G
It never seems to end
Jam 1: verse chords
Verse 2:
G
Another day, it is ending
C D
I feel my feet upon the ground
C D G
And know they walk alone
G
What do I care now though if another day is ending
C D C D G
The days will end until my name is carved in stone alone
[ Chorus ]
Jam 2: Verse chords x2
Chorus chords
Verse 3:
G
The time has come for leavin'
C D C D G
The time to fall away like the pedals leave the rose
G
But what good does this leavin'
C D
I can still hear my heart breakin'
C D G
the sound it never goes
[ Chorus ]
C G G/F# Em
The same old repetition feelin' up and down again
G C D*
Sorry is a highway
C D G
It never seems to end
Outro: Intro chords
*The riff played runs down G Aeolian starting at A on the 3rd string after the D
chord. I just mess around with it, Adam is too fast.
