Here is Rocks On The Road. Ian is notorious for capo on 3rd fret
and
does it once more. Why the 3rd fret? Well his voice is relax in
this
range. I notice on the last tour he moved Mother Goose from the
5th
fret to the 3rd. Also the flute is easier to play in the keys of
C
and F.
In this song play the Cm just above the capo as if you were playing
an
Am on an open guitar on frets 1 & 2. Play Bb as a G, Fm as
a Dm, and
Ab as F. When playing the Cm hammer your fingers on the 3rd and
4th
strings seprately.

Hello,
I thought you might like to correct some of the lyrics you have
wrong for
"Rocks on the Road".
There's a black cat down on the quayside
Ships lights, green eyes glowing in the dark
Two young cops handing out a beating
Know how to hurt and leave no mark
Well down in the half lit bar of the hotel
There's a call for the last round of the day
Push back my stool, take that elevator ride
Fall in bed and kick my shoes away
Can't sleep through the wild sound of the city
Hear a car full of young boys heading for a fight
Long distance telephone keeps ringing out engaged
Wonder who your talking with tonight
Tired plumbing wakes me in the morning
Shower runs hot runs cold playing with me
I'm up for the downside, lifes a bitch and all that stuff
So come and shake some apples from my tree
Had to pay for my minibar madness
Itemized phone bill overload
Well now, how about some heavy rolling?
Move these rocks on the road
Crumbs on the breakfast table
And a million other little things to spoil my day
How about a little light music
To chase it all away
Hope this is of some help. (Your web page is excellent)
Good Luck,
David Burrows.
