[Intro]
Am  C  Am E7 Am N.C.

[Verse]
                  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
G    Am    G    Am    G    Am
