Tom T. Hall – Once Upon A Road (Guitar)

D           G                             D
Once upon a road  when I was innocent and free

                      Em        G                     D
And the back roads of America  were like toy land to me

                           G                            D
It surely was the promised land  and we had ourselves a dream

                          Em       G           D
Oh how the milk and honey flowed  once upon a road

            G                              D
Once upon a road  we could live off of the land

                   Em       G                 D
Watermelons on the vine  chicken cookin' in a pan

                      G                               D
Water clean and water free  you could sleep beneath a tree

                         Em    G                    D
Love and freedom was our code  that was once upon a road

            G                        D
Once upon a road  really was a crazy time

                          Em           G                     D
We believed we could move mountains  so we moved them in our minds

                           G                                 D
Blood and sweat and bitter tears  took the days and took the years

                       Em     G                     D
We have little left to show  for being once upon a road

            G                               D
Once upon a road  we were young and we were fair

                        Em
Changed the face of all America

G                                    D
But never hung around in the barber chair

                       G                          D
We were fighting for a dream  fought a mighty big machine

                            Em     G                     D
There ain't nothing that we know  for being once upon a road

                       Em     G                     D
We have little left to show  for being once upon a road
