Hello there,

On our way up the road

F#min
You're living a dream,
D7

My mind is achin'
D7
Lord it won't stop
F#min
That's how it

^---- only 2/4 here
Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good thangs, singin' th' blues
You went your way, I stayed behind
We both knew it was justa matter of time
You're livin' our dream, wo you on top
My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens livin' life by th' drop
No wasted time we're alive today
Churning up th' past, there's no easier way
Time's been between us, a means to an end
God it's good to be here walkin' together my friend
We're livin' our dreams <fill>
my mind stopped achin' <fill>
That's how it happens livin' life by th' drop
That's how it happens livin' life by th' drop

#On 'The Sky Is Crying', SRV plays this song with a 12-string.
#Note SRV used both xx0212 and xx7575 for D7.
#That's it. There are a couple of licks missing but with a little messing
#around with the chords you'll be able to get them.
