THOUSAND ROADS- David Crosby
E (w RIFF)
I used to walk around with my eyes on fire
My nerves real close to my skin
Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek
We would skate where the ice got thin
CHORUS #1:
G/F# G D A (Em11)
And the smoke blowin’ down from a cabin on the hill
G D A (Em11)
And smoke blowin’ down in the street
G D A (Em11)
Some kind of sweet smelling mystical backdrop
G D A
To the story unfolding at my feet
Now there’s an edge to the twister I throw back in the air
There’s an edge to the twist of the knife
There’s a hard heart of darkness hovering there
Just around the corner from life
CHORUS #2:
And I, I have no answers
I got no patented path to set you free
Besides, I wouldn’t know where you wanted to go
And it’s probably not the same place as me
Now there’s a thousand roads up this mountain
You can get lost in a minute if you try
And it’s probably enough that I was just laughing today
And looking this close in your eye
CHORUS #3:
I said there’s a thousand roads up this mountain, yeah
You can get lost in a minute if you try
It’s probably enough that I was just laughing today
Looking this close in your eye
In your eye
In your eye
