Intro: G B C, A C D, E B C, C A G
       G B C, A C D, E B C, C A G
 C            G
I know these roads,
 C                       G
Each ridge, And narrow bridge,
 A      D
Each cheveron,
 B         E
Enticing me on,
  C
Each warning sign,
               D
I take in my stride.


G B C                     A C D
I don't nee more ammunition,
E B C                        C A G
I've got more than I can spend,
G B C                             A C D
I don't dwell on things I'm missing,
             E B C
I'm just pleased,
                       A C D
With the things I've found.


 C            G
I know these roads,
 C               G
An old hand understands,
 A     D
Above all,
 B       E
I know what's,
                C
Expected of me now,
            D
Veering cliffwards.


G B C                     A C D
I don't need more ammunition,
E B C                     C A G
I've got more than I can spend,
G B C                        A C D
I don't dwell on thing I'm missing,
       E B C
I'm Pleased,
                      C A G
With the things I've found,
                       C
With the things I've found,
                       G
With the things I've found,
       C
I've found.


 C          G
I've been crying,
 C                        G
It comes back on these salient days,
 A   D
And it say,
 B   E
And it say:
   C                      D
"We've never really been away"


G B C                   A C D
I don't need more ammunition,
E B C                      C A G
I've got more than I can spend,
G B C                       A C D
I don't think of who I'm missing,
E B C                     C A G
I've got no space and no time,
               C
In my life, anymore,
              G
No space or time,
               C
In my life, anymore,
       G
For revenge.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Tyler Average	#1 by Tyler at Oct 18, 1990 at 1:37 PM EST
	It's about Moz being sick to death of taking revenge on people he feels have wronged him in his life. The lanes and roads are metaphors for times and memories from his life. He doesn't need anymore ammunition because he decides he's past taking shots at people and being spiteful. Unfortunately he rather walks all over the optimistic message of this song in 'Sorrow Will Come in the End' which ended Maladjusted (the American version anyway)

No Picture Harry Average	#2 by Harry Johnson at Mar 29, 2003 at 9:59 AM EST
	This song has an inspiring appeal to it. It is optimistic and practical; reminds me of Morrissey walking around a town he knows well and feeling content with where he is in life.

No Picture cody Rhythm Player	#3 by cody watts at Jan 11, 2006 at 10:33 PM EST
	I disagree. I think the sort of bridge bit (i.e. I've been crying...) is very telling and sort of clarifies the meaning of the rest of the song. I think the roads are metaphorical and Morrissey means the paths leading back to the depression he later refers to, as there are often warning signs. The "veering cliffwards" part also supports this.
