Biography:
Christopher Anton Rea (born 4 March 1951) is an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky singing and slide guitar playing, with the Guinness Rockopedia describing him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart". After learning to play the guitar relatively late, a short burst of local band activity led to his launching a solo career in 1978.

[Intro]
Am Dm Fmaj7 E7 Am
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Well I'm standing by a river, but the water doesn't flow
Fmaj7 E7 Am
It boils with every poison you can think of.
Am Dm
And I'm underneath the street light, the de-light of joy I know,
Fmaj7 E7 Am
Scared beyond be-lief, way down in the shadows.
C G
And the per-verted fear of violence, chokes the smile on every face,
Fmaj7 E7
Common sense is ringing out the bells.
[Chorus 1]
Am Dm Fmaj7
This ain't no technological breakdown, oh, no, this is the
E7 Am
road to hell.
[Solo]
Am Dm G C Cadd9/B Am Dm Fmaj7 E7 Am
[Verse 2]
Am C G
And as the roads jam up with credit, and there's nothing you
Fmaj7 E7
can do, it's all just bits of paper flying a way from you.
Am Dm
Oh, look out world take a good look, look who's down there,
Fmaj7 E7 Am
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well.
[Chorus 2]
Am Dm Fmaj7
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway, oh no, this is
E7 Fmaj7 E7 Fmaj7 E7 Am
the road, This is the road, this is the road to hell.
[Solo]
