NO WAY TO GET ALONG (The Prodigal Son)
by Rev. Robert Wilkins
(also covered by John Fahey,
the Rolling Stones and Rory Block)
-arr. by JM (Dadfad) Oct 11, 2004
Tabbed With Notepad Courier New 10 Font
Just a poor boy, took all he had and started down the road.
Started down the road
Took all he had and started down the road.
Where he was bound the Lord God only knowed.
He guessed he'd find some way to get along.
Was a mean old world...., treated him so cold.
Treated him so cold
A mean old world, it treated him so cold.
It was not easy, just as he'd been told.
He could not find a way to get along.
Then the poor boy hung his head, hung his head and cried.
Hung his head and cried
Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried.
No longer did he listen to his pride.
"I cannot find a way to get along."
Said "Believe I'll ride.... Believe I'll go back home.
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home.
I cannot live in this old world alone.
I do not yet know how to get along."
And the father said "See my son coming down the road.
Coming down the road.
See my son a'coming down the road.
Prepare a feast and call the family 'round."
He once was lost, but now he is found.
Now that's how we all should get along.

(This is another way of doing the line above. Actually any of these
three walked-lines can be used in these areas, including the intro-
part, however you might feel at the moment.)

Here are the licks and variations that can be used during the I Position
on the one and/or two strings during the line "Poor boy took all he had
an' started down the road. Started down the road..." areas of the tune
and other places as well (I think the Stones just used the 1 string on
the third fret and open), and for the other verses in that same area:
D licks (individual licks, not a sequence)
D|-----------0-------7------9b-----9b-----------0-
A|---8b------8b------8b------------8b-------0h2---

(string snap) (Swooosh....)
THE END!!!!!!!!!!
When playing this tune, keep it loose and add or change as you feel like
it, whether with the little D-lick variations above or whatever. The
Gadd9's can be hammered into (as shown) or hammering both notes, or not
at all, as a change of pace in different verses (or even within the same
verse. Whatever....this is just a loose guide. I've stolen phrases,
words, rhythms from all the versions I've heard into this one. It sure
isn't chiselled in stone! (in sand maybe! LOL...)
