Yusuf Islam - Roadsinger Chords

Intro: C   
     
Verse:    
C                         F             C    
 Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat.    
C                 G            C            G            C      F, C    
 People stood and stared, then closed their doors, as he passed.    
C                              F                  C    
 He strolled the empty street; kids banged on tin cans.    
C                 G      C      G                       C    F, C    
 Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the roadsinger sang.    
     
Chorus:    
Am                G            D  F                C    
 Where do you go, where do you go, when hearts are closed?    
F                 Am               G                     G7    
 When a friend be-comes a stranger, nobody wants to know.    
Am                G            D  F                     C    
 Where do you go, where do you go, when the world turns dark,    
F                 Am                 G        F         C       F, C    
 And the light of truth is blown out, and the roads are blocked?    
     
Verse:    
C                      F                        C    
 He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks,    
C                      G       C      G              C    F, C    
 a child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back.    
C                     F            C    
 Behind a misty glass, on a window-pane,    
C                G      C       G            C    F, C    
 a little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name.    
     
Chorus:    
Am                G            D  F                       C    
 Where do you go, where do you go, in a world filled with fright,    
F       Am                G                   G7    
 Only a song to warm you,  through the night?    
Am                G            D  F               C    
 Where do you go, where do you go, after lies are told,    
F                 Am                 G        F        C    F, C    
 And the light of truth is blown out, and the night is cold?    
     
Interlude: -with Mmm's-    
     
Interlude -x2-: C, F, C, C  G  C  G, C, F  C    
     
Verse:    
C                   F           C    
 Roadsinger rode on, to another land,    
C                  G       C                G         C     F, C    
 Though the people spoke a different tongue; it under-stand.    
C                             F                    C    
 They showed him how to share, and took him by the hand,    
C               G       C      G                   C    F, C    
 Showed him the path to Heaven, through the desert sand.    
     
Chorus:    
Am                G            D   F              C    
 Where do you go, where do you go,  to find happi-ness,    
F           Am                 G      G7    
 In a world filled with hatred, tears?    
Am                G            D  F          C    
 Where do you go, where do you go, if no one cares,    
F          Am           G  F            C      F, C    
 And every-body's lost,     looking for theirs.
