Lirik dan kunci gitar Waterboys - Long Strange Golden Road
INTRO:
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
VERSE:
Bm D
I was longing to be wooed
G Bm
I was ready to be humbled
G Bm
by the words that you had written
A G
by the syllables you mumbled
Bm D
yeah, I was ready in my heart
G Bm
to have my heart invaded
G Bm
by the fervour of your passion
A G
yes, I came to be persuaded
VERSE:
Bm D
But when I heard your ragged voice
G Bm
something switched in my perception
G Bm
and I knew I was the victim
A G
of a beautiful deception
Bm D
all my once exact beliefs
G Bm
like tangled threads unravelled
G Bm
I walked out, stunned and liberated
A G
and so began my travels
CHORUS:
G D
Keep the river on your right
A Bm
and the highway at your shoulder
G D A
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
G Bm
Keep your eye on the road
A Bm
remember what you told her
G Em Bm
this is all in code, my dear
VERSE:
Bm D
You better get yourself a coat
G Bm
said the handsome taxi driver
G Bm
and he sighed like seven bridges
A G
like a natural-born survivor
Bm D
as we drove into the night
G Bm
I could feel the forest jangling
G Bm
all the choices laid before me
A G D
and their consequences dangling
VERSE:
Bm D
We came upon a stricken ship
G Bm
that must have once been splendid
G Bm
the captain as he died said
A G
“Boys, our revels now are ended”
Bm D
I heard a wild holy band
G Bm
playing jazz that was outrageous,
G Bm
that recalled the days of rapture
A G
when our love was still young and contagious
CHORUS:
G D
Keep the river on your right
A Bm
and the highway at your shoulder
G D A
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
G Bm
Keep your eye on the road
A Bm
remember what you told her
G Em Bm
this is all in code, my dear
VERSE:
Bm D
In a dim-lit motel room
G Bm
two sad lovers were discoursing
G Bm
on the dignity of exile
A G
and the merits of divorcing
Bm D
she said “all certainty is gone”
G Bm
but he leapt up, still denying,
G Bm
cried “I won’t believe the flame I lit
A G
is dead or even dying”
VERSE:
G Bm D
She left him drooling in the dust
G Bm
and with rucksack packed begun her
G Bm
bitter journey to the border
A G
which is where I wooed and won her
Bm D
she was Aphrodite, Helen, Thetis,
G Bm
Eve among the satyrs
G Bm
She was Venus in a v-neck sweater
A G
she was all that ever mattered
CHORUS:
G D
Keep the river on your right
A Bm
and the highway at your shoulder
G D A
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
G Bm
Keep your eye on the road
A Bm
remember what you told her
G Em Bm
this is all in code, my dear
VERSE:
Bm D
Like Dean Moriarty’s ghost
G Bm
I came in quest of secret knowledge
G Bm
in the winter of my journey
A G
to a crumbling Druid college
Bm D
there I read the books of lore
G Bm
and contemplated in seclusion
G Bm
but I took my leave embittered,
A G
still in love with my illusions
VERSE:
G Bm D
In the drizzling Irish rain
G Bm
as a tender dawn was breaking
G Bm
in a doorway I stood spellbound by
A G
the ancient music they were making
Bm D
I took my breakfast with the Gods
G Bm
on a blushing summer morning
G Bm
till a wind blew them all away
A G
I had misread every warning
CHORUS:
G D
Keep the river on your right
A Bm
and the highway at your shoulder
G D A
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
G Bm
Keep your eye on the road
A Bm
remember what you told her
G Em Bm
this is all in code, my dear
VERSE:
Bm D
Under cold electric light
G Bm
I watch the scenes mutating
G Bm
like an old time frontier ballad
A G
or a carousel rotating
Bm D
As if in a moment from a film
G Bm
with astonishing precision
G Bm
the camera zooms in close
A G
and a figure comes into vision
VERSE:
Bm D
I’m in Tokyo, it’s dawn
G Bm
and it’s raining hallelujahs
G Bm
down the bright-lit neon canyons
A G
along the sidewalks of Shibuya
Bm D
I’m trying to take a stance
G Bm
and rise above my contradictions
G Bm
but I’m just a bunch of words in pants
A G
and most of those are fiction
CHORUS:
G D
Keep the river on your right
A Bm
and the highway at your shoulder
G D A
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
G Bm
Keep your eye on the road
A Bm
remember what you told her
G Em Bm
