Am
Where the road is dark
                C
And the seed is sowed
                 Am
Where the gun is cocked
                C
As the bullet's cold
                   Am        G
Where the miles are marked
                      Am       G
In the blood and the gold
     F                G         Am N.C.
I'll meet you further on up the road

                   Am
Got on my dead man suit
                     C
And my smilin' skull ring
                   Am
My lucky graveyard boots
              C
And a song to sing
                Am      G
I got a song to sing
                          Am       G
That keeps me out of the cold
         F                G          Am N.C.
And I'll meet you further on up the road

[Chorus]
                  C
Further on up the road
                  Am
Further on up the road
                 C
Where the way is dark
                 E7
And the night is cold
           Am     G
One sunny mornin'
             Am     G
We'll rise I know
         F                G         Am N.C.
And I'll meet you further on up the road

[Instrumental]
Am  C  Am E7 Am N.C.

[Verse]
                         Am
Now I've been out in the desert
              C
Just doin' my time
                      Am
Searchin' through the dust
              C
Lookin' for a sign
                      G
If there's a light up ahead
                      Am     G
Well, brother I don't know
         F              G             Am N.C.
But I've got this fever burnin' in my soul

[Chorus]
                  C
Further on up the road
                  Am
Further on up the road
                  C
Further on up the road
                  E7
Further on up the road
          Am     G
One sunny mornin'
             Am     G
We'll rise I know
         F                G         Am
And I'll meet you further on up the road
