ANYWHERE IS BETTER THAN HERE (Mary Karlzen)
-------------------------------------------
[I find it hard to believe an acoustic guitarist would _want_ to play
B chords, but it doesn't sound like she uses a capo in this song.]
[Where I wrote "TAB," that means there's tablature for that part.]
E E EOne, two, Ethree
E[insEtrumAentaAl (TEAB)]E A A
E I ride the lEong dark highwayE, the sign sEays keep to the rigAht A[TABA] A
E I ride the lEong dark highwayE in the cEool black of the nigAht A[TABA] A
B I know thBings have got to get Abetter when I get thAere
B B A - Asus2 [hold]
'Cause anywhere is better than...
...Ehere; AnywhBere is better than hAere B
E And where I'm Bgoing, boy, IA don't really Bcare
F#m 'Cause I've F#mbeen there and IB'll be there agBain
E E A B (E)
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you in my sight
(..myE sight)E [inAstruAmentalE; saEme aAs inAtro (TAB)]
I'm riding fast and low, with his memory right behind
There's a new life waiting for me, and I'm a-gonna make it mine
And I don't care if the sun don't shine out there
'Cause anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here
And where I'm going, boy, I don't really care
'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you in my
G#m And I've G#mnever felt so Astrong and alAive
F#m F#m B [hold]
Than to pack up, leave you, and drive

I ride the long dark highway, dawn is coming, I see the light
And if I start all over, this time, this time I'll get it right
Don't ask me where I'm going when you don't really care
'Cause anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here
And where I'm going, boy, I don't really care
'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you in my sight
Tonight [TAB]
