The Carter Family – Its A Long Long Road To Travel Alone (Guitar)

                     C
I always thought I’d like to roam

    G              D7
One day I started alone

    G                C
Out in this old wide wicked world

 G        D7          G
Away from friends and home

                         C
It’s a long long road to travel alone

    G               D7
And when the day is gone

   G                  C
No place to pillow my head at night

     G      D7        G
Only on the cold cold stone

                           C
I’ve travelled around from town to town

         G                   D7
Now it’s time that I settled down

     G              C
I’ve had my fill of rambling around

    G        D7       G
And now I am homeward bound

                 C
One day a letter came to me

    G               D7
And this is what it read

     G                  C
Come home my boy to the old homestead

     G          D7         G
Your father and mother are dead

                         C
It’s a long long road to travel alone

    G               D7
And when the day is gone

   G                  C
No place to pillow my head at night

     G      D7        G
Only on the cold cold stone

                         C
It’s been a long road to travel alone

  G                D7     G
I wish I had never roamed
