Electric Light Orchestra - Long black road

^EThey used to tell me boy you ain't goin' nowhere ^EWith your cheap guitar and your big long hair ^EYou gotta realize all your responsibilities ^EYou gotta get out to work and face reality

You gotta g^Det up in the morning take your heavy load And you ^Agotta keep goin' down the long black road

^ESo I drifted for a while down the road to ruin ^EI couldn't find my way I didn't know what I was doin' ^EI saw a lot of people coming back the other way ^ESo I kept on goin' when I heard them say

"you gotta ^Dget up in the morning take your heavy load And you ^Agotta keep goin' down the long black road"

^EI made a lot of money I was makin' quite a mess ^EBut they all told me money wouldn't bring me happiness ^E"you gotta work like a man in a real man's life ^EYou're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife"

You gotta ^Dget up in the morning take your heavy load And you ^Agotta keep goin' down the long black ^Eroad You gotta ^Dget up in the morning take your heavy load And you ^Agotta keep goin' down the long black ^Eroad You gotta ^Dget up in the morning take your heavy load And you ^Agotta keep goin' down the long black ^Eroad
