Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 We're on a road to nowhere,
 Come on inside,
 Takin' that ride to nowhere,
 We'll take that ride
 I'm feeling okay this mornin'
  And you know.
 We're on the road to paradise
  Here we go,  here we go
Maybe  you wonder where you are
 I dont't care
Here  is where time is on our side
 Take you there...take  you there
 There's a city  in my mind
 Come along and take that ride
 and it's all right,  baby, it's all right
 And it's very  far away,
 But it's growing day by day
 And it's all right,  baby, it's all right
 Would you like  to come along
 You can help me sing this song
 And it's all right,  baby, it's all right
 They can tell  you what to do
 But they'll make a fool of you
 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.

 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
  We're  on a road to nowhere,
  Come  on inside,
  Takin'  that ride to nowhere,
  We'll  take that ride
 
  I'm  feeling okay this mornin'
  And you know.
 
  We're  on the road to paradise
 
  Here  we go, here we go
 
 Maybe  you wonder where you are
 I dont't care
 
 Here  is where time is on our side
 
 Take  you there...take you there
 There's a city  in my mind
 Come along and take that ride
 and it's all right,  baby, it's all right
 And it's very  far away,
 But it's growing day by day
 And it's all right,  baby, it's all right
 Would you like  to come along
 You can help me sing this song
 And it's all right,  baby, it's all right
 They can tell  you what to do
 But they'll make a fool of you
 And it's all right,  baby, it's all right
 CHORUS...
 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.
