Title: The Way
Artist: Fastball
Transcription: Maitland
Verse 1
F#m
They made up their minds
Bm
And they started packing
C# F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F# Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m C#
But where were they going without ever
F#m
Knowing the way?
Verse 2
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
When the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without even
Knowing the way?
Chorus
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E-riff
They'll never get old and grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#
But they really don't care
D
They wanted the highway
A E-riff C#
They're happier there today

Verse 3
Their children woke up
And they couldn't find them
They'd left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

Chorus
2nd solo:
The solo at the end is slightly different. Its all based on pentatonics so
if you play this one twice instead, it will still sound great.
Effect:
I'm not sure this is even a guitar, it sounds like maybe it is with some
crazy studio effects or pedals. It sounds good if you just make some
feedback instead. Just let this ring after the chorus near the end before the
last solo.
