[Intro] |C | F C | F | C | |C | F C | F | C | [Verse 1]
        C                                      F                 C
Well I heard the bells of freedom once as I was coming down the road

F                 C
[tab]       C                     F             C
And I followed that echo wherever it would go

         F                 C
As I was   coming down the road
[Chorus]
          G                           F       
But there always seemed to be trouble in my path

  G                       F         
I found my hands tied behind my back

        C       F     C
As I was coming down the road

       F         C
Coming down the road
[Solo] |C | F C | F | C | [Verse 2]
       C                                      F                 C
Well I heard the truth call my name, As I was   coming down the road

F                 C
  Coming down the road

        C                         F        C
And I followed that voice to the valley below

        F                  C
As I was  coming down the road
[Chorus 2]
        G                             F        
And it took me down a path where I was lost all the time

    G                          F
I found some truth but it could never be mine

        C       F     C
As I was coming down the road

       F         C
Coming down the road
[Solo] |C | F C | F | C | [Verse 3]
       C                          F       C
And I saw myself for a second as I really am

        F                C
As I was coming down the road

      C                         F        C
And I had to look away in disbelief I suppose

        F                C
As I was coming down the road
[Chorus 3]
  G                             F
I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me

       G                      F
And I wasn't the fella that I thought I’d be

        C       F     C
As I was coming down the road

       F         C
Coming down the road
[Solo] |G | F | G | F | | C F | C | C F | C | [Verse 4]
  C                                F          C
I saw you out my window as you was walking alone

F                C
 Coming down the road

      C                    F        C
And I raised my hand as if  to say hello

        F                C
As I was coming down the road
[Chorus 4]
        G                           F
But you didn’t wave back, you just walked on by

  G                        F
Alone by yourself till the day you die

       G                             F              
And I guess the truth and freedom before us all lies

C           F        C     
 Somewhere down the road

C           F        C     
 Somewhere down the road
