[Verse 1]
Am Em Am
Stood still on a highway I saw a woman by the side of the
road
With a face that I knew like my own,
Em
reflected in my window
Well,
Am Dm
she walked up to my quarter light and she bent down real
slow
Am Em Am
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadows
Am Em Am
She said: Son, what are you doing here?
Am Em
My fear for you has turned me in my grave
[Verse 2]
Am
I said: Mama, I come to the valley of the rich,
Dm
myself to sell
Am
She said: Son,
Em Am Am
this is the road to hell

[Verse 3]
Am Dm
On your journey 'cross the wilderness from the desert to
the well
Am Em Am Am
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell
[Pre-Verse]

[Verse 1]
Am
Well I'm standing by a river,
Dm
But the water doesn't flow
F
It boils with every poison
E Am
You can think of
Am
And I'm underneath the streetlight
Dm
The delight of joy I know
F
Scared beyond belief,
E Am
Way down in the shadows
[Chorus]
C
And the perverted fear of violance
G
Chokes a smile on every face
F
And common sense is ringing,
E
Out the bells
Am Dm
This ain't no technological breakdown
F E Am
Oh no, this is the road to hell

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