where the road is dark , and the seed is sowed ,
| Am | Am | C | C

where the miles are marked in blood and gold ,
| F | G | Am | Am stop
i’ll meet you further on , up the road ,

verse

| Am | Am | C | C
got on my dead man’s suit , and my smilin’ skull ring ,
| Am | Am | C | C
my lucky graveyard boots , and a song to sing
| Am | G | Am | G
i got a song to sing , to keep me out of the cold
| F | G | Am | Am stop
and i’ll meet you further on , up the road ,

further on up the road , further on up the road ,
| C | | E |
where the way is dark and the night is cold ,

| F | G | Am | Am stop
and i’ll meet you further on , up the road ,

verse

| Am | Am | C | C
now i been out in the desert , just doin’ my time ,
| Am | Am | C | C
searchin through the dust , lookin’ for a sign ,
| Am | G | Am | G
if there’s a light up ahead , well brother i don’t know ,
| F | G | Am | Am stop
but i got this fever , burnin’ in my soul ,

chorus

| F | G | Am | G |
and i’ll meet you further on , up the road ,
