Diatonic Harmonica Tabs

 4  - 4     5   5   5 5   5
Well I'm stand-ing by a river

-4   4  -4 -4   -4  -4  -4 
But the wa-ter does-n't flow

-3'  4    3'   4 -3' 5 -4
It boils with ev-'ry poi-son

 2  -2    4   -3'
You can think of

 4  -4   5  5    5
And I'm un-der-neath 

-4     5     5 
The street-lights

-3'  4   -4   4  -4  5 - 4
But the light of joy I know

   4   -3' 4   -3' 5
Scared be-yond be-lief 

 2   2   2  -2   4  -3'
Way down in the sha-dows

 5   5   5   5   5   5
And the per-vert-ed fear 

5   6   6
Of vio-lence

  -5   5   5   -4 -4  -4  6
Chokes a smile on ev-'ry face

-3'  4   4    4   4    5  -4
And com-mon sense is ring-ing 

-4  -4    5
Out the bells

6     -6   6
This ain't no 

 -6  6  5  5  -4    5    -4
Tech-no-lo-gi-cal break-down

4  4    -3' 4  -3' 5 -4 4  -3'
Oh no, this is the road to Hell

 5   5   5    5    5  5   5     6 6
And all the roads jam up with cre-dit

-5    5       5  -4  -4 -4   6
And there's noth-ing you can do

-3'   4   4    4   -3'  4
It's all just bits of paper

   5   5  6   5    5
Flying a-way from you

-6     7  -6   -6    -6  6  -6   6
Boy, look out world take a good look

 5     5     5   -4
What comes down here

 4   4     4    -3'  4   4   5
You must learn this les-son fast

-3'   4   4  -3'
And learn it well

 -6   -6   6 
This ain't no 

-6  6   5  6  5     -6   6
Up-ward-ly mo-bile free-way
4  4     3' 4  -3'  5 -4
Oh no, this is the  road  

 4   4  -3'  5 -4
This is the  road

  4  4  -3'  5 -4  
This is the  road  

4  -3'
