  			Roads by Portishead

  			-------------------

  				Tabbed by Frederic Maquet

  

  

  The Am chord is sometimes "sussed" to add a transition, but mostly

  chords

  are just strummed once with lots of echo and reverb and a bit of 

  distortion.  The strumming can be slightly tricky if you're singing at

  the same time, so listen to the record to get it right.

  

  

    Intro/Verse:					    

     Am              G6         Fmaj7    E7                F       G

  Am

  e:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|--------------------

  ---|

  B:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|--------------------

  ---|

  G:----5------------0-----|----2--------1----|------|---0h2-----0h4-----5

  ---|x2

  D:-7--------7------2-----|----2--------0----|--x2--|---0h3-----0h5-----7

  Drums come in...

  

  Verse 1:

  --------

  Am     G6              Fma7  E7		    Am             

    Oho,   can't anybody see?       You gotta walk to find me,

  G6  		       Fmaj7       E7

    Never found our way,  regardless,  of what they say

  F 	      	 G	 Am		   F

     How can it feel, this wrong?  From this moment, 

   	    G	       Am

  How can if feel, this wrong?

  

  

  

  Verse 2: (same chords as previously) Chords have more echo here

  --------

  Am	  G6		      Fmaj7      E7      Am

      Stoned, in the morning light,   I feel,   no more

  	G6  Fmaj7    E7		  F		   G

  Can I say,    frozen,   to myself, I got nobody on my side,

      		      Am

  And surely that ain't right

  F	G		     Am

   	   Surely that ain't right.

  

  Verse 3:

  --------

  Same as verse 1, except with strings..Also, 2nd Am is sussed,

  if you see what I mean...(play 2nd Am as Am->Asus4->G6)

  

  Until:

  

  F	     G		Am		 F

    How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment

  	   G	      E7

  How can it feel, this wrong?

  

  Break:

  ------

  Play intro (with a lot of bass A, G, F, E) up to:

  F	     G		Am		 F

    How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment

  	   G	      E7

  How can it feel, this wrong?

  

  Play Verse 1 again (the same way as in intro).

  Ends on:  		 Am

  		"...this wrong."

  

  

  Other ways of playing some chords:

  ----------------------------------                        

                         

      Fmaj7   Amsus4  Am    G6 or

  e:--0---------------0-----3--0--|

  B:--1---------5-----1-----5--0--| The 1st G6 voicing is a bit crap,  

  G:--2---------7-----2-----4--0--| but Fmaj7 and Am and 2nd G6 are easier

  D:--3---------7-----2-----x--0--| to play like this on an accoustic

  A:--3---------7-----0-----5--2--| and sound better..

  E:--0---------5-----------3--3--|
