Capo 1\\ 

G\\ 


G C\\ 
Thirty story hotel overlooking the sea\\ 
G D\\ 
Friends on either arm supporting me\\ 
G C\\ 
It's hard to walk now\\ 
G D\\ 
But I will go down somehow\\ 
G C\\ 
I'm going down the old road\\ 
G C\\ 
I'm going down the old road\\ 

G C\\ 
Children kick a soccer ball around in the street\\ 
G D\\ 
Kalpadruma trees are melting in the heat\\ 
G C\\ 
It's hard to walk here\\ 
G D\\ 
Where the waves shine so clear\\ 
G C\\ 
I'm going down the old road\\ 
G C\\ 
I'm going down the old road\\ 


(G Em C) x 4 G\\ 


G C\\ 
Above the swollen ocean the burning yellow sun\\ 
G D\\ 
Hits the hotel's mylar windows catching everyone\\ 
G C\\ 
It's hard to say why\\ 
G D\\ 
I should come here to die\\ 
G C\\ 
I'm going down the old road\\ 
G C\\ 
I'm going down the old road\\
