The Road When I Was Young Chords by Steve Tilston

_ _ _ _ What we are really [C] is long distance drivers.
This is the fun bit, this is the easy bit.
_ _ And this is a song, [F] a road song, although we all have various road [C] songs.
And it's a waltz.
_ So we're waltzing off into [F] the _ _ _ _ [C] metaphorical distance.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _
Though these [G] travelling _ [Bm] _ [Am] shoes are _ [C] worn [F] and tattered
[G] _ _
[D] _ They [G] still _ keep [C] moving on _ _ _ _ _ _
They [G] have learnt to tread _
[Am] the [C] roots [F] that matter
[Em] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] Along the road when I [C] was young
_ _ There _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] have been missed _
[D] [Am] signs and _ [F] _ _
diversions
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ [G] They're searching for the [C] sun
_ _ Many _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ mislaid _ plans for _ [C] missing _ persons
[Em] _ [D] _ _ [G] Along the road when I [C] was [F] young
_ [C] _
Down [G] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Em]
that well _ [G]-worn path [C] I _ wandered
[Am] _ _ Chasing [Em] _
_ dreams [Dm] in the [G] blue yonder
_ [C] And [G] freely spending [B] time to his [G] mind [F] to squander
_ [Em] _ [D] _ _ [G] Along the road when [C] I was young _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ Many [C] _ _ _ [G]
nights [B] alone, _ [A] some [C] nights [F] together
_ _ [Em] _ [D] With _
[G] _ some [C] special one _
And _ _ _ back [G]
behind the [B] _ _ [Am] wheel and _ hell [F] for leather
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _
Along [G] the road when I [C] was young
_ _ My _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [Em] first _ [G] song, it [C] still lingers
_ [Am] _ Oh, how [Em] the notes spill _ [Dm] _
from [G] my _ _ [C] fingers
And I [G] did stand [Dm] in line [Am] with the [F] folk [Em] singers
[D] _ _
Along [G] the road when [C] I was young
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ _ Mmm, _ [F] mmm, mmm, mmm, _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] mmm
_ [C] There _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
[G] were no _ _ [Dm] _ [Am] goodbyes for _ some [F] companion
_ [Em] _ _ [D]
[G] Never _ _ realized when [C] time was done
_ _ [G] Each [C] _ _
[G] with our own _ _ [Am] absolute _ [C] _ [F] opinion
_ [Em] _ [D] _
Along [G] the road when I [C] was young
_ I _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
_ [Em] had guitars, [G] _ _
free to [C] travel
_ [F] _ _ _
Strands of [Em] life _ _ [Dm] _ _
[G] didn't ravel
_ [C] When [G] _
I [B] sold my soul [Am] to the _ [F] crossroads devil
_ [Em] _ [D] Along _ [G] the road when I [Em] was young _
_ [Am] Along _ _ [Dm] _ _
the [G] road when [C] I was young _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
Mmm, [F] _ _ _ [D] _ mmm, [F#] _
_ [G] mmm, mmm, [C] mmm _ Go!
