Waylon Jennings – The Road (Ukulele)

     G         C             G
Back home, The familys eating dinner.

                      C                 G
Theres a fire, in the fireside warm and bright

                                    Am            C
But I won't be there today, cause I got a debt to pay

         Am                   D                     Em
And they dont let black sheep stray from the road

        Am                   D             G
No they dont let black sheep stray from the road

   G         C             G
My throat is crying out for water

          C               G
Lord that wind is blowing cold

                                  Am           C
That guard is watching me, like a hawk up in a tree

        Am            D                     Em
And I'm longing to be free, from the road

        Am            D                      G
Yes I'm longing to be free, from the road

      G     C               G
Every bone, inside my body's aching

                    C                 G
And that guard dont care if I live or die

                               Am         C
He told me yesterday, son dont try to get away,

        Am              D           Em
Or I'll lay you down to stay, by the road

         Am              D           G
Yes I'll lay you down to stay, by the road.
