This Road

| G | D | G | D |

[Verse 1]
     G          C                
This road winds down through the 
G
valley,
            Am         D7      
Through the warm green meadows I 
       G
call home.
                    G7             
Turn around, and it leads across 
  C   Am
the mountains,
          G          C             
Where the wind keeps telling me to 
G
roam.

[Verse 2]
          G              C        
Down this road there's a fire 
   G
always burning.
          Am           D7         
There's a place at the table set 
    G
for me.
Continues after the ad
                        G7       
It's the same road that leads way 
      C   Am
over yon-der,
              G             C     
Where there's such a lot of world 
            G
I'd like to see.
           G                C     
There's so much of this old world 
          G
I long to see.

[Bridge]
        C            G
Tell my momma not to worry.
  Am               D7              
I couldn't bear to know I made her 
G
cry.
        C            G
Tell my poppa if you see him.
  Em                A7         
I tried, but I just couldn't say 
      D7
goodbye.

[Verse 3]
          G       C           G
I long to see the places they call 
somewhere
     Am                       
It's been my dream ever since my 
D7        G
life began.
                    G7             
And someday when my wandering days 
    C   Am
are o-o-ver,
        G                C
I'll be coming back this road
              G                C
You'll see me walking down the road
        G                C
I'll be coming back this road,
         G
A better man.
