CAPO I


INTRO: Bm

Bm                                 Em        A        Bm
Strollin' along the Midnight Road, somewhere south of town
Bm                           Em            A       Bm
I fell into a ring of doubt, somehow I got turned around
A           Em                Bm
Demons from Hell descended on me
      A                       F#     A            Bm
While somewhere in the dark a devil chortled with glee

Bm                                Em              A  Bm
Whistlin' a tune under my breath, heard it on the radio
Bm                                    Em              A        Bm
Spelled death for me in a melody, the words whispered soft and low
A              Em            Bm
Blood lay in a puddle in the road
A                       F#     Em       Bm
Skeletons rattled in my closet way back home


CHORUS:
    A                  E
The Midnight Road, the Midnight Road
Em                            Bm
Lined with broken bottles and pots of gold
    A                  E
The Midnight Road, the Midnight Road
Em                F#                   Bm
Saints behold I'm walkin' the Midnight Road

Bm                                          Em        A      Bm
Lost in the shadows cast by the fire, I'm a lonely forgotten man
Bm                                         Em           A     Bm
Whiskey on my breath I can taste my tears, Lord help me understand
    A                     Em                       Bm
Was surrounded by angels, woe what has happened to me
    A                         F#       Em         Bm
The rattle of chains, a voice whispers son you're free


CHORUS

Bm                                  Em           A        Bm
Tempted by fate, tossed by the sea, blown by the winds of time
Bm                                        Em             A      Bm
Howl to the Moon and He answers back, His voice like the finest wine
A         Em                     Bm
No way to go when you can't turn back
A                      F#         Em      Bm
Signpost ahead it says son you're way off track


CHORUS (2x)

Bm                  Bm             Em        A        Bm
Strollin' along the Midnight Road, somewhere south of town
