[Intro] C F C F C G C [Verse 1]
         C           F                G
I was looking for a place to hang my hat

        F              G             C
And a place to lay me down my heavy load

    C               F             C           F
I found it in the woods, in the cabin on the hill

 C           G          C
[tab]          C             F                G
We were looking for a place to raise a child

               F             G                  C
'Cause she'd soon be giving birth to one that showed

         C              F            C         F
And we found it in the woods, in a cabin on a hill

 C           G          C
Down at the end of the road
[Chorus]
 F                      G
Down at the end of the road

 F                                 G
Down at the end of an old country road

C                   F             C               F
We found what we needed for the family we would raise

  C          G          C
Down at the end of the road
[Verse 2]
   C        F              G
A girl was born, December 23rd

      F        G                 C
Just one day short of Christmas Eve

                  C                F    C               F
And through the years we tried to move many different times

          C            G                 C
But we landed on the place we couldn't leave

        C                 F               G
So we prayed to God that we might have a son

    F              G       C
And he was born December '92

           C                F               C       F
And we keep looking for a place to move away, move away

       C            G               C
But leaving was a thing we couldn't do
[Bridge]
C          F              G
20 years flew by like 20 days

             F            G                        C
And the blessings grew from the initial seed we'd sown

      C                      F
Our kids will soon be leaving now

          C             F
They'll leave us here behind

C            G          C
Down at the end of the road
[Chorus]
 F                      G
Down at the end of the road

 F                                 G
Down at the end of an old country road

C                   F             C               F
We found what we needed for the family we would raise

  C          G          C
Down at the end of the road
