Album: Wild Afternoon (2000)
[Intro]
D A G A D
[Verse 1]
GHere I am back Aon the road agDain
DGon't it feel just lAike my old worst frDiend
The nGe'er do well that a mAother prays agDainst
JGack Kerouac meets HAuckleberry FDinn
[Verse 2]
YGes I know the wAays of this old frDiend of mine
He's got some gGood intentions mAisinterpreted Devery time
Said "the rGoad is long and wAinding" but whDat he really meant
Was the cGomfort you are sAeeking will not mDeet you at the end
[Chorus 1]
GGets me going like a fDiddle tune
GDon't even know what my fDeet are doing
GHey, don't fAiddlers earn their pDay, OK
GGreen lights all the wDay to nowhere
GHalf the fun is Din the getting there
And Gonce you figure thAat out you're on your wDay
[Verse 3]
GOh, it's hot out Aon the road todDay
No cGover, no cloud, nAo chance for escDape
ExcGept that 18 whAeeler oDn the straight-away
So I pGull up, match his spAeed and steal some Dshade
[Chorus 2]
GGuess I got me the GDypsy virus
GNo cure for the rDamblin-itis
ExcGept some aAsphalt and some dDays, fine days
GGreen lights all the wDay to nowhere
GHalf the fun is jDust in getting there
And Gonce you figure thAat out you're on your wDay
[Solo]
G A D G G A D
[Verse 4]
The rGoad can give you fAortunes that are yDours to use or keep
Or Git can take your vAery life if it lDulls you off to sleep
But sGo can any stAyle of life or frDiend that you might choose
So bGeing dead and frAiendless, man that's the Donly way to lose
[Chorus 3]
GTomorrow shines like a gDold doubloon
GYou could have it if you wDanted to
GYou just have to hAold your mouth the right wDay, that's the way
GGreen lights all the wDay to nowhere
GAll the fun is jDust the getting there
And Gonce you figure thAat out you're on your wDay
[Outro]
Well I'd bGest be Aon, Well I thGink I'm Aon, I'm fGinally Aon my wDayG  A  D

Green Lights

Max Stalling

Album: Wild Afternoon (2000)

[Intro]

D A G A D

[Verse 1]

G A D

Here I am back on the road again

G A D

Don't it feel just like my old worst friend

G A D

The ne'er do well that a mother prays against

G A D

Jack Kerouac meets Huckleberry Finn

[Verse 2]

G A D

Yes I know the ways of this old friend of mine

G A D

He's got some good intentions misinterpreted every time

G A D

Said "the road is long and winding" but what he really meant

G A D

Was the comfort you are seeking will not meet you at the end

[Chorus 1]

G D

Gets me going like a fiddle tune

G D

Don't even know what my feet are doing

G A D

Hey, don't fiddlers earn their pay, OK

G D

Green lights all the way to nowhere

G D

Half the fun is in the getting there

G A D

And once you figure that out you're on your way

[Verse 3]

G A D

Oh, it's hot out on the road today

G A D

No cover, no cloud, no chance for escape

G A D

Except that 18 wheeler on the straight-away

G A D

So I pull up, match his speed and steal some shade

[Chorus 2]

G D

Guess I got me the Gypsy virus

G D

No cure for the ramblin-itis

G A D

Except some asphalt and some days, fine days

G D

Green lights all the way to nowhere

G D

Half the fun is just in getting there

G A D

And once you figure that out you're on your way

[Solo]

G A D G G A D

[Verse 4]

G A D

The road can give you fortunes that are yours to use or keep

G A D

Or it can take your very life if it lulls you off to sleep

G A D

But so can any style of life or friend that you might choose

G A D

So being dead and friendless, man that's the only way to lose

[Chorus 3]

G D

Tomorrow shines like a gold doubloon

G D

You could have it if you wanted to

G A D

You just have to hold your mouth the right way, that's the way

G D

Green lights all the way to nowhere

G D

All the fun is just the getting there

G A D

And once you figure that out you're on your way

[Outro]

G A G A G A D G A D

Well I'd best be on, Well I think I'm on, I'm finally on my way
