Waylon Jennings - The Road guitar chord

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.
