Route 23

E B7 When I read this mornings headlines I saw your name E And it mentioned just two others that share your fame A E In another fourteen days you would have married me B7 E Now there's nothing but a cross out on route 23 E B7 Well I walked that stretch of pavement where you breathed your last E Run my fingers though the gravel & the broken glass A E They told me not to come here, but I had to see B7 E All that's left of what was once mine on route 23 E B7 A E B7 E 3x E B7 Well I'm a goin' to your funeral then I'm goin' away E Without you here beside me it's no use to stay A E Everything I had ain't nothing but a memory B7 E And a cross marks the spot out on route 23
