ROAD TO NOWHERE / TALKING HEADS (LP LITTLE CREATURES)


WELL WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOIN'
BUT WE DONT'T KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN
AND WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE KNOWIN'
BUT WE CAN'T SAY WHAT WE'VE SEEN
AND WE'RE NOT LITTLE CHILDREN
AND WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT
AND THE FUTURE IS CERTAIN
GIVE US TIME TO WORK IT OUT


CHORUS:
E
 We're on a road to nowhere,
C#m
 Come on inside,
E
 Takin' that ride to nowhere,
C#m
 We'll take that ride


A (V.)                         E
 I'm feeling okay this mornin'
         B (II.)
 And you know.
A (V.)                         E
 We're  on  the  road  to  paradise
         B (II.)     E
 Here we go, here we go


CHORUS


A (V.)                     E
Maybe you wonder where you are
	 B (II.)
I dont't care
A (V.)                       E
Here is where time is on our side
         B (II.)          E
Take you there...take you there


CHORUS


          B (VII.)
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
             C#m (IV.)
and it's all right, baby, it's all right

         B (VII.)
And it's very far away,
But it's growing day by day
             C#m (IV.)
And it's all right, baby, it's all right


          B (VII.)
Would you like to come along
You can help me sing this song
             C#m (IV.)
And it's all right, baby, it's all right


         B (VII.)
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
             C#m (IV.)
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

CHORUS...

Hi there to you guys from NEVADA.

As it is, my last mail including this song has a bug in it.
Therefore, here's the corrected version with additional comment, too.

Thank you for publishing the stuff and doing the corrections.

Additional comment:
Play E on 7th fret only during repetition of 
"There's a city in my mind..." part,
and use the ordinary E before instead.
