Elvis Costello "Rocking Horse Road" from the album Brutal Youth (1994) This builds from and improves upon (I think) the version posted on the Elvis Costello wiki, credited to Ben Greenstein and posted roughly ten million years ago (link: http://www.elviscostello.info/guitar/by.html#rocking_horse_road). The main changes are in the latter half of the bridge section and a bit of reformatting. There may be some transitional chords missing or incorrect between some of the sections. Any help or improvements welcome. No capo, standard tuning. Intro: G C D C (same pattern through the first part of the verses)
The cGhains from the Cbridle and the Dreins fell Cfrom my hands G C D C The eGngines are iCdle and the sDhip sails Con dry land G C D C EmI stood there sBmtupefied, I Amthought I recog-Bmnized C CWalking down Rocking Horse DRoad, getting lost
G C D C
GShot through VCaseline, he Dpicks up the Cpaper from the lawn G C D C And Gtucks the SubCurban AssaDssinC underneath his arm G C D C EmHe smiles weakly and tBmurns away. I Amknow I'll never Bmcome to Charm C D(? I don’t think this is right, but the bass makes it hard to figure) Walking down Rocking Horse Road, it's so peaceful
F#mIt's like a phBmotograph F#mFrom the other side of the Bmworld Am I Bmsaid "I want you oCnly" AmAnd Bmthen I lCeft you alone Am Bm C D (tacit) Crying on Rocking Horse Road, or somewhere quite like it
[Louder] G C D C G C D D [Back to standard verse level] G C D C (x2)
The Gcemetery Cgardens, there are Dnames not Cnumbers on the gateposts G C D C And the Geyes in the Ccurtain fDollow you lCike a smirking ghost G C D C EmI know I Bmmust not look back, 'cause Ampart of me is Bmwaiting sCtill
CThere on Rocking Horse Road for you AmIn a little dream house made for two Well Cyou were the Done who Gmade your esCcape CIn your stocking Dfeet and your Gsticky Ctape
[Outro and fade, repeating with variation:]
CAll the way Ddown.G..C
