Well it's down the road and up the hill and just around the bend

G D

Pick 'em and put 'em down and pick 'em up again

C D G Cadd9

And it sets me into wonderin' what it's really all about

G D G

Fightin' for the things we know we'll always be without

C

Down the road by the way

G

Where the laughin' waters play

D

'Cross the ribbon-wavin' sand

G

We go walkin' hand in hand

C

Nothin' old and nothin' new

G

Nothin' special there to do

D

In those good old yesterdays

G

Down the road by the way

C D G Cadd9

Well it's light and lovely Brenda comin' cool across the waves

G D

Floatin' over rows she helped me hoe in yesterdays

C D G Cadd9

And it's me whose thirsty now for all that sweet milk gone to waste

G D

Somewhere on the road of no returnin' yesterdays

C D G Cadd9

Well it's down the road and up the hill and just about the bend

G D

Pick 'em and put 'em down and pick 'em up again

C D G Cadd9

And it sets me into wonderin' what it's really all about

G D

Fightin' for the things we know we'll always be without
