Long Black Road chords by Electric Light Orchestra

Verse 1:
E
They used to tell me boy you ain't goin' nowhere
E
With your cheap guitar and your big long hair
E
You gotta realize all your responsibilities
E
You gotta get out to work and face reality

Chorus:
      D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
    A
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road

Verse 2:
E
So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin
E
I couldn't find my way I didn't know what I was doin'
E
I saw a lot of people coming back the other way
E
So I kept on goin' when I heard them say

Chorus:
      D
"you gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
    A
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road"

Verse 3:
E
I made a lot of money I was makin' quite a mess
E
But they all told me money wouldn't bring me happiness
E
"you gotta work like a man in a real man's life
E
You're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife"

Chorus:
     D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
    A                  E
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
     D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
    A                  E
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
     D
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
    A                  E
