                                                  G
All you fine young bloods must think yourselves immune

A                                                 G
From the traps that time will set in the sweetest tune

         D                                       G
You must whistle up your winds and rosin up your bow

    A                                                          D
But none can foretell which is the path the restless muse will go
[Chorus]
C              D        Bm      A          G
Oh, this rocky road, it makes a poor heart sore

     A                                                      D
If I ever get off this rocky road, I'll ne'er get on it any more

[Verse]
                                               C
I used to take delight in my 'baccy and strong beer

    D                                                 C
I'd blow the smoke rings way up high, watch them disappear

        G                                           C
And I'd drain the tumblers dry just to loosen up my tongue

        D                                           G
And I'd sing the weary miles behind with a rambling song
[Chorus]
F              G        Em      D          C
Oh, this rocky road, it makes a poor heart sore

     D                       G          C         D         G
If I ever get off this rocky road, I'll ne'er get on it any more

Oh, this rocky road, it makes a poor heart sore

     A                       D          G         A         D
If I ever get off this rocky road, I'll ne'er get on it any more
[Verse]
           G                                                         C
Well, I've roamed around this world and I've rode the clouds and the waves

     D                                                      C
I've met with poor men who were kings and rich men who were slaves

         G                                                 C
And I've knelt beneath the spires and I've heard some holy men

D                                              G
Bend the words to fit the world as it seems to them
[Chorus]

If I ever get off this rocky road, I'll ne'er get on it any more
[Chorus]

Oh, this rocky road, it makes a poor heart sore

     D                       G          C         D         G
If I ever get off this rocky road, I'll ne'er get on it any more
