Route 50

Am                           G
I'm sitting on the freeway next to 
my iron baby Robbie.
D                                
I see miles and miles ahead, a 
F              Em       Am
vast expanse of asphalt, dirt and 
air.
                         G     
I have the company of a goddess 
chirping in the sky, flying at 
  D
sunset.
My heart is screaming for a love 
        F
that is gone,
         Em           Am
My body wound and my soul is in 
unbearable pain.
G           Am
Well, I'm alone on the loneliest 
road.
G               Am
See, I cannot think of giving up.
G               Am
I have to be cautious and very safe.
                   D
To Stock up on provisions and 
groceries.

Removing hatreds and resentments

F                 G              
God, tell me how can I understand
              C
 your sacred designs?
            Bb                 
Why do you leave scoundrels and 
                     Dm
murderers acting on earth?
           Bb
Why do you lead the purest souls?
    Am
The most remarkable minds?

     C
Even more the lovely smiles?
         F
Tell me, God!
                     G         
From the deep of my soul and my 
                         C
heart, why do you allow war?
           Bb                      
Why do you let your children starve
                   Eb
 to death in your home?
            Gm                     
Why do you allow fanatics to kill 
          Eb
on your behalf?
             Gm              
Why do you allow bloodthirsty 
                    Eb
dictators to stay alive?
             Gm                    
They made a covenant with whom must
        Eb
 not be name,

I'm running at night on the freeway,
                G
under Robbie's lighthouse,
having as companions the waning 
 D
moon,
                            F      
the faraway stars and the vastness 
       Em
of nature.
Am                             
I try to leave behind all that I 
   G
lived,
                           D
and for her my despaired tears of 
longing
              F                   
and hopelessness. However, as the 
Em
night
                    Am
falls gloomy on my shoulders, I am 
sure
                  F             
that a beautiful new day will be 
     Em
born and
            Am
life will follow its own path.
         F              Em        
Gently I say, life goes on, in 
  Am
many ways
