Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Long Hard Road guitar tab

turn gold

A D

But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would

G D

When the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds

A D

We lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion

G D

With ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back

A D

Man, it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong

Bm G

But momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed

D A

And somewhere in between I must have grown

Bm G

Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin'

D A

Takes me down the road to where I want to go

Bn A D

Now I know, it's a long hard road

G D

Sometimes I remember when I stayed up late at night

A D

When the sun-up came, we got up and went

G D

In the shadows of a working' day our moonlight hours spent

A D

Singin' songs along with Gramma's radio

G D

Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack

A D

Livin' in my memories all in vain

G D

Cause those city lights ain't all that bright compared to what its like

A D

To see Lightning Bugs go dancin' in the rain

Bm G

Momma played the guitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend

D A

And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum

Bm G

But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'

D A

Takes me down the road to where my name is known

Bm A D

Now I'm gone, and its a long hard road

Bm A D

Yes, I know, Its a long hard road.
