Road to hell  Interpret/autor: Chris Rea 
 
Am 
Well I'm standing by the river, 
Dm 
But the water doesn't flow. 
F                   E 
It boils with every poison - 
        Am 
You can think of. 
 
Am 
And I'm underneath the street light, 
Dm 
The delight of joy I know, 
F                  E 
Scared beyond belief, 
                Am 
Way down in the shadows. 
 
C 
And the perverted fear of violence, 
G 
Chokes a smile on every face, 
F                         E 
Common sense is ringing, out the bells. 
Am                          Dm 
This ain't no technological breakdown, 
F                  E       Am 
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.

C 
And as the roads jam up with credit, 
G 
And there's nothing you can do, 
F 
It's all just bits of paper, 
E 
Flying a way from you. 
Am 
Oh look out world take a good look, 
Dm 
Look who's down there, 
F                          E                  Am 
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well. 
 
Am                            Dm 
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway, 
F                  E 
Oh-no, this is the road, 
F                 E 
Said this is the road, 
F           E        Am 
This is the road ... to hell.
