Am                         F         
I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor 
G              Em    Am 
Like I knew he did a thousand times before 
Am                         F 
Voices seem to echo "Come talk with me a while 
G                Em     Am 
Just around the corner, just another mile..." 

Am                           F 
I had heard the stories, her legend served her well 
  G                Em     Am 
A mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairy tale 
  Am                     F 
A raggle taggle gypsy , with a toothless smile 
      G              Em             Am 
Said "Sit with me my darling, let's talk a little while..." 
 
         C         G     Dm         Am            F       G   Am 
*And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay 
         C         G     Dm          Am            F       G   Am 
And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay... 
 
   Am                         F 
The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days 
      G           Em        Am 
Could I have been misguided by the mystic's ways? 
    Am                        F 
The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me 
G                   Em           Am 
Caught between what happened and what could never be... 
 
         C         G     Dm         Am            F       G   Am 
*And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay 
         C         G     Dm          Am            F       G          Am 
And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Ma-------ndalay... 
 
Am G Am G Am G Em Am  
 
         C         G     Dm         Am            F       G   Am 
*And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay 
         C         G     Dm          Am            F       G   Am 
And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay 
         C         G     Dm         Am            F       G   Am 
*And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay 
         C         G     Dm          Am            F       G   Am 
And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay...
