Long Black Road Chords & Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

[VERSE 1]
[E]They used to tell me boy you ain't goin' nowhere
[E]With your cheap guitar and your big long hair
[E]You gotta realize all your responsibilities
[E]You gotta get out to work and face reality

[CHORUS]
You gotta g[D]et up in the morning take your heavy load
And you [A]gotta keep goin' down the long black road

[VERSE 2]
[E]So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin
[E]I couldn't find my way I didn't know what I was doin'
[E]I saw a lot of people coming back the other way
[E]So I kept on goin' when I heard them say

[CHORUS]
"you gotta [D]get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you [A]gotta keep goin' down the long black road"

[VERSE 3]
[E]I made a lot of money I was makin' quite a mess
[E]But they all told me money wouldn't bring me happiness
[E]"you gotta work like a man in a real man's life
[E]You're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife"

[CHORUS]
You gotta [D]get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you [A]gotta keep goin' down the long black [E]road
You gotta [D]get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you [A]gotta keep goin' down the long black [E]road
You gotta [D]get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you [A]gotta keep goin' down the long black [E]road
