Tabbed by Bob M. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arranged in 3/4 timing (denoted by the 1 & 2 & 3 & above the tablature). The timing took the longest to figure out. The whole tab was figured out by ear so if it's not 100% that's why but I think it sounds pretty close. Hope it helps!

F# Life is one big road Bm With a lot of signs and turns & twists and curves F# Even though the road is rocky Bm My main thing's to rock and keep on rockin' F# From city to city Bm Backyard to yard F# And we be seein' the sights, standin' under the lights Bm And the spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at night F# And I'm feelin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holding you tight Bm But hold on, every single road I roll on F# Comes to an end and I'm back home again Bm F# So baby please don't cry, there's no valley low and there's no mountain high Bm And our love don't die with the passage of time F# It just grows more, And just keep strong Bm And even though i'm gone, I am never too far F# You're the light thru the dark, shining right thru my heart Bm So my journey must start... (Chorus) - 04:26 Bm Hey baby don’t you worry F# Even though the road is rocky Bm I’ll be coming home to you again F# Cuz if you thought that I was lost Bm I had to bare my cross F# Now I’m free from all these Chains Bm F# Bm F# Bm F# Bm F# Bm F# . . . . repeat till end Playing Notes / Musical Notation;- * - mute the strings with your fretting hand to accentuate the staccato feel of the strings. ~ - Vibrato e-----------------------------------------------|| b---------------------TAB-----------------------|| g------------------DEDICATED -------------------|| d-----------------TO EADAOIN--------------------|| a--------------------XXXX-----------------------|| e-----------------------------------------------|| My email is ultimate-guitartabber@hotmail.com if you have any questions or comments but constructive criticism only please.
