OK this is my first TAB and it's only a very small contribution to the TAB below
by [email protected] Its basically just the outro but can also be played throughout
the song on a second guitar, listen to the song for the timing in the last bars.
I have put it at the end where it is heard in the song along with the correct lyrics below.
corrections etc. to immorta email: [email protected]
G
Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
C G
Guns went off in my chest
Em (Bm)
Remember carrying the baby just for you
C (D)
Crying in the wilderness
I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin
Cut them off as limbs
I drove out over the flatland
hunting down you and him
The sky was big and empty
My chest filled to explode
I yelled my insides out at the sun
At the wide open road
It's a wide open road, It's a wide open road
So how do you think it feels
Sleeping by yourself?
When the one you love, the one you love
Is with someone else
Then it's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
And now you can go any place
That you want to go
I wake up in the morning
Thinking I'm still by your side
I reach out just to touch you
Then I realise
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
So how do you think it feels
Sleeping by yourself?
When the one you love, the one you love
Is with someone else
I wake up in the morning
Thinking I'm still by your side
I reach out just to touch you
Then I realise
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
and now you can go any place that you want to go

An Australian Classic performed on behalf of The Triffids by Paul Kelly and
Chris Bailey at the Mushroom 25 concert. The chords are fine; the ones in
brackets appear only in the outro to the song. The only dubious lyrics are
in the 2nd line of the 2nd verse, and I know they're wrong (this is the
best sensible line I can offer). If you know the correct line send it to
me at [email protected]

C G
Drums went off in my chest
Em (Bm)
Remember carrying baby just for you
C (D)
Crying in the wilderness
I lost track of my friends I lost our kid
Cut them off as lost
I drove out over the fat land
Hunting down you and him
The sky was big and empty
My chest filled to explode
I yelled my insides out at the sun
The wide open road
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
So how do you think it feels
sleeping by yourself
when the one you love the one you love
is with someone else
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
And now you can go any place that you want to go
Wake up in the morning
Thinking I'm still by your side
I reach out just to touch you
Then I realise
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
So how do you think it feels
Sleeping by yourself
When the one you love the one you love

Wake up in the morning
I think I'm still by your side
I reach out just to touch you
Then I realise
It's a wide open road
{REPEAT by 8}
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
And now you can go any place that you want to go
