Stan Rogers - Live Concert Video 5-28-1983 - Down The Road Chords

_ When I was wandering around upstairs waiting to go on I was sort of looking at the rogues gallery of people who've played here
_ _ [E]
I mean there's pictures all over this place of like really famous people and stuff, you know, I
[B] Notice my picture isn't up
_ _ Yes, you have to be a star [E] in order to get your picture up there I'm just a minor asteroid _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But I was looking at Mary McCaslin's picture up there
Thinking once again that she may be one of the world's great-looking women _
She was also one fine songwriter I chased her around for a long time trying to get this song away from her
She kept saying Stan.
You don't want that one.
It's a real simple song.
It's too simple
_ Mary I said why don't you just write it down for me?
Okay
Well, she finally taught it to me and I took it out on stage a couple weeks later in front of about 10,000 people
at the end of a folk festival
And sent them home with this one ringing in their ears
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[A] _ [E] You
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ Son is [C#m] rising high
[A] _
Burning into [E] the day _ I will say [C#m]
goodbye
[A] _ [E] I'll be going away _
Rush away my doubts
[E] What tomorrow will hold
_ Feeling [C#m] fine for now
_ [A] Going down [E] the road
To a city [C#m] to sing
[A] _
About the trees and [E] the wind
About the hills [C#m] in the spring
[A] And the rivers [E] that bend _
The rocky deep
_ Pass and the poppies and ponies _
_ Running through [C#m] the grass
[A] Up and down [E] the road
Here's your part
Do-do-do [C#m]-do-do
[A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _
In _ _ the dark [C#m] they sit [A]
and they holler for more
_ White smoke [C#m] in a whisp [A] _ [E] from here to the door
_ Their admission they pay
_ For the stories they're told
_ Of a clear new day
_ [A] Only down [E] the road
It's a heavy rain at my back
[A] _
lazy [E] matters
In _ _ my book [C#m] I keep [A] track [E] of the promises said _
For my songs in a town
_ [Em] That tomorrow will [E] hold
I'm feeling [C#m] fine for now
_ [A] Going down the road
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _
_ The _ [C#] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
sun is _ [C#m] rising [A] high
Burning [E] into the day
So I will say [C#m] goodbye
[A]
I'll be [E] going away
_ I'll brush away my doubts
What [A] tomorrow will [E] hold
I'm feeling fine for now
[A] _ Going down the road
I'm feeling [C#m] fine for now
_ [A] Going down the [E] road
I'm feeling fine for [A]
now
Going down the road
_ _ [C#m]
Like _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ an organ
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
