John Denver – This Road (Guitar)

     G          C                G
This road winds down through the valley,

            Am         D7             G
Through the warm green meadows I call home.

                    G7               C   Am
Turn around, and it leads across the mountains,

          G          C             G
Where the wind keeps telling me to roam.

          G              C           G
Down this road there's a fire always burning.

          Am           D7             G
There's a place at the table set for me.

                        G7             C   Am
It's the same road that leads way over yon-der,

              G             C                 G
Where there's such a lot of world I'd like to see.

           G                C               G
There's so much of this old world I long to see.

        C            G
Tell my momma not to worry.

  Am               D7              G
I couldn't bear to know I made her cry.

        C            G
Tell my poppa if you see him.

  Em                A7               D7
I tried, but I just couldn't say goodbye.

          G       C           G
I long to see the places they call somewhere

     Am                       D7        G
It's been my dream ever since my life began.

                    G7                 C   Am
And someday when my wandering days 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.
