G/D                           |G |
        Riding on this rolling bus

        Beneath a stony sky

Bm |
        With a slow moon rising

E7                                                  |A |A7 |
     And the smokestacks drifting by

G/D                                    |G
       In the hour when the heart is weakest

       |F#m | |
And           memory is strong

Bm |
       When time has stopped

E7                                      |A7 |
      and the bus just rolls along

                    |D | |A |
Roll on, roll on

                    |D | |A |
Roll on, roll on

                    |D | |
Roll on, roll on

A A/G#|F#m |Bm |E |A7 |Bm A7| |Bm A7| |Bm A7| |Bm A7|
