Gently Does It

Tom : C
C G F C

[Verse]
G
Gently does it, for a change
C F
I used to think you were just like a mountain range
C G
Your big boots stomped where small men feared to tread
C F
I could hardly believe what I just read

[Chorus]
G C F
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
G C G C F C G C
I hear they're building a highway to take you home

[Verse]
G
They say you can't travel anymore
C F
But you've got the key to a new front door
C G
And, don't you know cause' you once said it all
C F
When you stand so high, you've got so far to fall

[Chorus]
G C F
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
G C G C F C G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home

[Instrumental]
C   G   C   F   C   G   F   C

[Verse]
G
Not everyone looks you eye to eye
C F
'Cause you get difficult, dangerous, I'm damned if I'll lie
C
But we all pay the price
G C F
When they place your ante high

[Chorus]
G C F
When a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
G C G C F C
I hear they're building a highway to take you home

[Chorus]
G C F
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
G C G C F C
I hear they're building a highway to take you home
