MAIN RIFF X4
B A E A B
Dominion Road is bending; under it’s own weight,
B A E A B
Shining like a strip, cut from a sheet metal plate,
B
‘Cos it’s just been raining.
MAIN RIFF X1
B A E A
Jane reached the point where she knew what he meant before he opened his
B
mouth,
B A E A B
He couldn’t say the same or he would’ve guessed she was moving south, with
one of his friends.

B F# E B
But it’s getting better now, he found it in him to forgive,
B F# E B F#
He walked the city, and he found a place to live – in a halfway house,
E
halfway down Dominion Road.
MAIN RIFF X2
B A E A B
He watched Jane’s brother sell the house he felt no sense of loss,
B A E A B
More like a mountain-climber looking back having made it across - the
steepest face.
B F# E B
Oh but he’s still climbing, see him trying to cross the street,
B F# E B F#
He tests his footing, like he was up ten thousand feet above the clouds,
E
halfway down Dominion Road.

B F# E B
But he’s getting better now; he rests his head on the windowsill,
B F# E B
He watches the city, sees the antennae’s in the hills from the halfway
F# E
house, halfway down Dominion Road.
B F# A E
Halfway down, halfway down, halfway down Dominion Road.
B F# A E
Halfway down, halfway down, halfway down Dominion Road………Owaooo
