Hi everyone,
I'd love to try a chord solo with the song True Love Travels on a Gravel Road as done by Nick Lowe.
Can anyone help with the chords? or offer any advice?

TRUE LOVE TRAVELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD
Verse 1:
C/G
How many girls
Em
Choose cotton dress worlds
F C/G
When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man
Em
Through good times and bad
F G
And still keep a smile on her face
C/G
And how many hearts
Could face the winters we've known
F C/G
And still not turn gold
Chorus:
C/G F C/G
True love travels on a gravel road
Bridge:(Willie Nelson)
C/G
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
F
On smooth streets
C/G
Paved with gold
Chorus.
Verse 2:(Johnny Cash then Waylon Jennings)
C/G
Down through the years
Em
We've had hard times and tears
F C/G
But it only makes our love grow
And we'll stay together
Em G
No matter how hard the wind blows
C/G
Not once have i seen your
Blue eyes fill with envy
F
Or stray from the warmth
C/G
That they hold
Chorus.

Thanks guys, for the intro to Mr. Lowe. This is a GREAT song...I see why you like him, Dean.
(He's a little bit of a crooner and I don't even mind that in this case.) I think I might have heard him on a
"sopranos"soundtrack...but I'm not sure.
Good luck with the Chord Solo thing, Dean. Hope you have better luck then I did in my several attempts.

Nick Lowe is one of the greatest British songwriters ever, he has been consistently good for decades. I can't reccomend his last couple of albums highly enough, 'The Impossible Bird' was up there with anything by Dylan. BTW his version of 'The Beast in Me' was featured on The Sopranos, a sparce acoustic number that suits his basement-low voice so well.
Would make a good lesson...
