Bend In The Road chords by Chris Cornell

*****************************************************************************
NOTE: This is pretty close to the version on the album, but I took the liberty
of making a few minor changes. In other words, this is not exactly as played by
Chris Cornell, but my interpretation of the song!
This is such a fantastic tune, and one of my personal favorites from Higher Truth.
Hope you like my transcription! Enjoy;)

   G      Em      C     G
Put a bend in the road I?m too lost and tired
         Em  C       D
To see where I?m going, what I left behind
    Em     Bm G7      G      C
And I?m moving so slow, don?t know when I?ll arrive
     Em     G         C  D      G
So put a bend in the road, I?m growing tired of straight lines

Em C D  G


 G      Em    C           G
I set off for the shore, that was far less I away
        Em  C          D
From the ones I adored, in the place I was raised
   Em      Bm G7    G      C
And I roam down the road just to watch it go by
     Em     G      C   D  G
And when nowhere is love? Maybe nowhere am I

Am        G      Am      G
Everyone needs a touch, or a shoulder for crying
    Em    A7  C        D
The say love is a crutch, I say love is blind
      G      Em          C    G
And that?s all that she needed, that I could not supply
          Em      C D   G
With a bend in the road, put it out of my mind


Solo

G Em C G
    Yeah!
G Em C D G


Am          G       Am     G
Met a strange little girl, who was everything I
   Em       A7 C      D
ever dreamed I could love or be loved by

     G      Em C        G
So put a bridge, or a hill, or a forest of pines
       Em C        D
Or a river of blue I can run alongside
     Em       Bm  G7          C
And I?ll sleep when it?s night, I'll follow all the signs
      Em     G         C  D      Em  A7
Just put a bend in the road, I?m growing tired of straight lines
   C      G         C  D(stop)     G
Put a bend in the road, I?m growing tired of straight lines
