------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DARK ROAD - Richard Hawley ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Robbie Email: robbiejh12@hotmail.com Tuning: standard This is a pretty straight forward song to play. The other tab has got the chord progression completely wrong, as well as putting it in the wrong key. Main riff (arranged for single guitarist): Bm(1 bar) E (1 bar) A (2 bars) e|-----------2---------0-----------0---------| B|-----------3---------0-----------2---------| G|-----------4---------1-----------2---------| D|-----------4---------2-----------2---------| A|-------0-2-2---------2-4-2-0-2-4-0---------| E|-0-0-2---------------0----------------| N/C Bm It’s a long dark road E A That I call my home (A) Bm It’s a long dark road E A That I’m cursed to roam Bm E These many nights I’ve been banished here A Dmaj7 (xx0222) My companion is the stars Bm E With a bed-roll and a blanket A Dmaj7 And just the rocks to lay my bones Bm E One day from the darkness A Dmaj7 I’ll come rapping at your door Bm E A And I’ll never walk this road any more Solo (I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes): Bm E A (2 bars) Bm E A (2 bars) e|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------0-2---4p2-0-2s4------------------0-2---4p2-0-2s4---------| E|-0-0-2----------------------------0-0-2-------------------------| Bm E A Dmaj7 Bm E A Dmaj7 e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------2-1---------------1------------------2-1---------------1-----| D|-2-4-4-----2-2---2---2-----4----------2-4-4-----2-2---2---2-----4---| A|---------------4---4---4----------------------------4---4---4-------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| Bm E A Dmaj7 Bm E A (1 bar, then pause) e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------2--------------------------------2------------------------| A|-0-2-2-4---4-4-0h2-4-4-0----------0-2-2-4---4-0h2p0----------------| E|-------------------------2-----------------------------------------| N/C Bm It’s a long dark road E A That I call my home (A) Bm It’s a long dark road E A That I’m cursed to roam Bm E These many nights I’ve been banished here A Dmaj7 (xx0222) My companion is the stars Bm E With a bed-roll and a blanket A Dmaj7 And just the rocks to lay my bones Bm E One day from the darkness A Dmaj7 I’ll come rapping at your door Bm E A And I’ll never walk this road any more Bm E A No I’ll never walk this road any more Bm E A No I’ll never leave this home any more Outro: Bm E A A x4 (fades out on the album) And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but otherwise it should work fine! | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
