The Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D]I can still remember

[Verse 1]
[G]Every song you [D]played
Long ago when we were younger
And we'd [G]rock the night away
How [D]could I see your future then
Where [G]you would not grow [D]old
With such a fire in our bellies
Such a [G]hunger in our souls.
I [D]guess I probably loved

[Verse 2]
you
When those [A]words rolled off your tongue
It [Bm]seemed that we were travelin'
Under some [G]ol' lucky sun
I [D]know I couldn't save

[Verse 3]
you
And no one was [G]to blame
But the [D]road we shared together once
Will [A]never be [D]the same[Em]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Hey, hey [A]gonna [D]fly away[G]
Won't be coming [D]round today
[Em]Hey, hey [A]with a song I [D]pray
And on the wings of a [G]song I'll [D]fly away.
[G]

[Verse 5]
I [D]wandered in the wilderness
For a [G]while I was so [D]lost
To everything there is a season
And every [G]blessing has it's cost
So [D]I took what you left me
And [G]put it to some [D]use
Went looking for an answer
With those [G]three cords and the truth
I [D]come down from the mountain

[Verse 6]
I come [A]walkin' in your shoes
I was [Bm]taken for a gambler
When I [G]had no more to lose
'Cause you [D]put me on that pathway

[Verse 7]
How could I refuse?
[G]And I[D] spend my whole
life out here
[A]Workin' [D]on[Em][A][D][G]
[D][Em]
[A]the[D] bl[G]ues[Em]
[D]
[G][A]

[Verse 8]
[D]So I carried on.
You can't be [G]haunted by the pas[D]t.
People come and people go.
And [G]nothing ever lasts.
But [D]I still think about you
Wonder where [G]you [D]are
Can you see me from some place
Up [G]there among the stars

[Verse 9]
[G]
But [D]down here under heaven
There [A]never was a chart
To [Bm]guide our way across
This crooked [G]highway of the heart
[D]And if it's only all about
The journey in [G]the end
[D]On that road I'm glad I came [A]to know
My old [D]friend.[Em]

[Verse 10]
[A]Hey
Gone [D]away[G]
Won't be coming [D]round [Em]again
Hey
[A]With a song I [D]pray
And on the wings [G]of a song
I'll [D]fly [G]away
I'll [D]fly [G]away
I'll [D]fly [G]away

[Outro 1]
