This is another slippery Holdsworth composition.  Good stuff
in the lead...And again there's some difficult stretches,
be sure to keep the slurs smooth.


                                                   Hold 4 bars

1st 3rd Verses Play Rhy Fig 1

I can see miles and miles away, movin' along this southern bay
Seems like the road can go on forever and ever and ever

verse 3
Guilty road is gaining light, shiver and chills, my body fights
Everything's plain but the grass is still greener
forever and ever


Chorus (Rhy Fig 2)
       hold as chord Play 2x (Clean tone)

Chorus:
These are road games, silent road games

2nd Verse play Rhy fig 1

Heat of the sun is in my brain, day turns to night, I feel the pain.
Eyes are so tired they're just turnin into water, to water, to water.
