Tom : Am
Am G C D Am G Am
[Verse]
G C D Am G Am
Down the years I travelled, all the roads I saw
G C D Am G Am Dm
Life was changed forever, from all that went before
C G Am G F Am
A young man on his journey, I was one of the favoured few
G C D Am
Driving into the distance
G Am C D
And coming into the new, hmm hmm
Am G Am
I was coming into the new
[Instrumental]
Am G C D Am G Am
[Verse]
G C D Am G Am
Every city, town and highway, became a home to me
G C D Am G Am Dm
To walk the streets and byways, was where I had to be
C G Am G F Am
And some chance conversation in any downtown bar
G C D Am
Became another travelling song
G Am C D
I played on my guitar, hmm hmm
Am G Am
I played on my guitar
[Instrumental]
Am G C D Am G Am
[Verse]
G C D Am G Am
The memories are with me still, but the days are passed and gone
G C D Am G Am Dm
I'm looking to the road ahead, with a new day coming on
C G Am G F
Maybe there are songs to come, maybe some will fall behind
Am G C D
I will leave them by the roadside
Am G Am C D
For someone else to find, hmm hmm
Am G Am
For someone else to find
[Instrumental]
Am G C D Am G Am
[Verse]
G C D Am G Am
The roads have come together and led me to this place
G C D Am G Am Dm
Some have gone forever and some have left a trace
C G Am G F
It's coming 'round full circle to where it all began
Am G C D
I've got my songs and my guitar
Am G Am C D
And it's time to travel on, hmm hmm
Am G Am
It's time to travel on
