Its a long dark road
That I call my home
Its a long dark road
That Im cursed to roam
These many nights Ive been banished here
My companion is the stars
With a bed-roll and a blanket
And just the rocks to lay my bones
One day from the darkness
Ill come rapping at your door
And Ill never walk this road any more
I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley
plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes):

Its a long dark road
That Im cursed to roam
These many nights Ive been banished here
My companion is the stars

And Ill never walk this road any more
No Ill never walk this road any more
No Ill never leave this home any more
x4 (fades out on the album)
And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but
otherwise it should work fine!
