Biography:
Richard Hawley (born Richard Willis Hawley, 17 January 1967, Sheffield, United Kingdom) is a critically-acclaimed guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. Hawley initially found success as a member of Britpop band Longpigs in the 1990's, and formerly Treebound Story. When a drug-filled torpor after an extensive tour of America brought the band to the brink of extinction in 1997, Hawley was asked to play with Pulp by his close friend and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker.

DARK ROAD - Richard Hawley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Robbie
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: standard
This is a pretty straight forward song to play. The other tab has got the chord
progression completely wrong, as well as putting it in the wrong key.
Main riff (arranged for single guitarist):
Bm(1 bar) E (1 bar) A (2 bars)
e|-----------2---------0-----------0---------|
B|-----------3---------0-----------2---------|
G|-----------4---------1-----------2---------|
D|-----------4---------2-----------2---------|
A|-------0-2-2---------2-4-2-0-2-4-0---------|
E|-0-0-2---------------0----------------|
N/C Bm
It’s a long dark road
E A
That I call my home
(A) Bm
It’s a long dark road
E A
That I’m cursed to roam
Bm E
These many nights I’ve been banished here
A Dmaj7 (xx0222)
My companion is the stars
Bm E
With a bed-roll and a blanket
A Dmaj7
And just the rocks to lay my bones
Bm E
One day from the darkness
A Dmaj7
I’ll come rapping at your door
Bm E A
And I’ll never walk this road any more
Solo (I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley
plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes):
Bm E A (2 bars) Bm E A (2 bars)
e|----------------------------------------------------------------|

Outro:
Bm E A A x4 (fades out on the album)
And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but
otherwise it should work fine!
