The Road

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 .
