Here is a chopro and text version of "Road To Hell" by Chris Rea.
I got this from a tape from the radio so I don't know what album it
is from.  Please correct any errors and post back here.  Any tab 
to the solo parts would be welcome.  It sounds like there is a lot
of slide guitar in the solos.   Do most people think this would be
an open minor tuning or an open major tuning for the slide guitar?

[Am]          [Dm]          [F]          [E]         [Am]
[Am]          [Dm]          [F]          [E]         [Am]
[Am]Well I'm standin' by a river
But the [Dm]water doesn't flow
It [F]boils with every [E]poison you can [Am]think of

[Am]And I'm underneath the street light
But not the [Dm]light of joy I know
[F]Scared beyond [E]belief way done in the [Am]shadows

And the per[C]verted fear of violence
chokes the [Dm]smile on every face
And [F]common sense is [Dm]ringin' out the [E]bell

[Am]This ain't no technological [Dm]breakdown
Oh [F]no, This is the [E]road to [Am]hell

[Am]And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's [Dm]nothin' you can do
It's [F]all just bits of [E]paper flyin' a[Am]way from you

[Am]Oh look out world take a good look
What goes [Dm]down here
You must [F]learn this lesson [E]fast and learn it [Am]well

[Am]This ain't no upwardly mobile [Dm]freeway
Oh [F]no this is the [E]road
[F]   This is the [E]road   [F]    this is the [E]road to [Am]hell

 { Intro}
 Am        Dm        F         E        Am
                                        

 Am        Dm        F         E        Am
                                        

 Am                          
 Well I'm standin' by a river

         Dm                
 But the water doesn't flow

    F                E              Am      
 It boils with every poison you can think of


 Am                                 
 And I'm underneath the street light

             Dm                 
 But not the light of joy I know

 F             E                      Am     
 Scared beyond belief way done in the shadows


            C                      
 And the perverted fear of violence

            Dm                 
 chokes the smile on every face

     F               Dm              E   
 And common sense is ringin' out the bell


 Am                          Dm       
 This ain't no technological breakdown

    F               E       Am  
 Oh no, This is the road to hell

 Am                                  
 And all the roads jam up with credit

             Dm                
 And there's nothin' you can do

      F                E             Am          
 It's all just bits of paper flyin' away from you


 Am                                
 Oh look out world take a good look

           Dm       
 What goes down here

          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      F               E       Am  
    This is the road       this is the road to hell


 Am        Dm        F         E        Am
                                        

 Am        Dm        F         E        Am
                                        

 Am        Dm        F         E        Am
                                        

 Am        Dm        F         E        Am
