      Fastball - The Way 
Tabbed in Brazil by Eric Asquini.

[Verse]
F#m
They made up their minds
                  Bm
And they started packing
       C#7                                   F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
       F#7                         Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m                        C#7
But where were they going without ever
                F#m
Knowing the way?

F#m
They drank up the wine
                Bm
And they got to talking
C#7                                   F#m
They now had more important things to say
F#7                                   Bm
When the car broke down they started walking
F#m                        C#7
Where were they going without even
                F#m     E
Knowing the way?

[Chorus]
                     A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
         E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
              C#7
They'll never get cold
              D
They'll never get hungry
              A              E
They'll never get old and grey
                   A                    E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
         F#m
They won't make it home
         C#7
But they really don't care
         D
They wanted the highway
              A            E      C#7
They're happier there today

[Verse]
F#m
Their children woke up
                    Bm
And they couldn't find them
        C#7                        F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
        F#7                                Bm
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
F#m                       C#7
But where were they going without ever
                F#m     E
Knowing the way?

[Chorus]
                     A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
         E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
              C#7
They'll never get cold
              D
They'll never get hungry
              A              E
They'll never get old and grey
                   A                    E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
         F#m
They won't make it home
         C#7
But they really don't care
         D
They wanted the highway
              A            E      C#7
They're happier there today

[Solo 1]

[Chorus]
                     A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
         E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
              C#7
They'll never get cold
              D
They'll never get hungry
              A              E
They'll never get old and grey
                   A                    E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
         F#m
They won't make it home
         C#7
But they really don't care
         D
They wanted the highway
              A            E      C#7
They're happier there today
