Version 1
The Road
FRANK TURNER
Tabbed by guitaristu
First single off the new album. Enjoy.
Just standard open chords with different bassnotes illustrated by /.
Only exception is the /G# chord which I suspect Frank plays as:
/G# : 40020x
[Chorus]

G /G# Am
the road beneath my feet
Am/G Am C

[Verse]
Am Em Fmaj7 G
ever since my childhood i've been scared i've been afraid
C G Fmaj7 D/F#
of being trapped by circumstance and staying in one place
Am Em Fmaj7 G
so i always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored
C G Fmaj7 E Am
somewhere secret somewhere safe and somewhere close to the door
Am Em Fmaj7 G
well ive travelled many countries ive washed my feet in many seas
C G Fmaj7 D/F#
ive drunk with drifters in vienna and with punks in old dc
Am Em Fmaj7 G
and ive driven across deserts driven by the irony
C G Fmaj7 E Am
that only being shackled to the the road could ever i be free
[Chorus]
Am C
to the east to the east
G /G# Am
the road beneath my feet
Am/G Am C
to the west to the west
G /G# Am
i havent got there yet
Am/B C G
and to the north to the north
Fmaj7 C
never to be caught
Fmaj7 C
to the south to the south
G /G# Am
my time is running out
Am - bass /F /G /A /C /B /A
[Verse]
Am Em Fmaj7 G
I've felt old before my time but now i keep the age away
C G Fmaj7 D/F#
by burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days
Am Em Fmaj7 G
and the nights a thousand nights ive played and a thousand more to go
C G Fmaj7 E Am
before i take a breath and steal myself for the next one thousand shows
[Chorus]
Am C
to the east to the east
G /G# Am
the road beneath my feet
Am/G Am C
to the west to the west
G /G# Am
i havent got there yet
Am/B C G
and to the north to the north
Fmaj7 C
never to be caught
Fmaj7 C
to the south to the south
G /G# Am
my time is running out

Am G F G
to the heart to the heart theres no time for you to waste
C G

Fmaj7 D/F#
by staying in one place
Fmaj7 D/F# G /G#
yeah by giving up the chase
[Chorus]
