Intro: Instrumental verse
[G]Take me down the [C]road I [G]know
[C]Where we [G]wandered [C]long a[G]go
[C]When we were [G]young and [C]yet
to [G]know
The [C]road that [D]lay be[G]fore us
[G]When I, a young man [C]in my [G]prime
[C]I never [G]seemed to [C]have the [G]time
[C]To tell you [G]of the
[C]way I [G]felt
I [C]left it [D]up to [G]you
Chorus
And [D]quickly moves the [C]sands of [G]time
[D]Now there are no [C]hills to [G]climb
[C]I never
[G]got to [C]know you [G]mind
[C]I never [D]smelt the [G]roses
[G]Working time and [C]sleeping [G]time
[C]You never [G]ever [C]left my [G]mind
[C]When I [G]stumbled [C]in
the [G]dark
I [C]left you [D]far be[G]hind me
The [G]years may come, the [C]years may [G]go
[C]Still I’m [G]sure I’ll [C]never [G]know
[C]Why
I [G]took the [C]road I [G]took
The [C]road that [D]made the [G]difference
Chorus
Instrumental verse
But [G]all roads come [C]to an [G]end
[C]It’s a long, long [G]one that [C]has no [G]bend
[C]We must [G]one
day [C]meet a[G]gain
And [C]mend the [D]bridge that’s [G]broken
And [G]when the time has [C]come to [G]rest
[C]I’ll find the [G]place that [C]I loved [G]best
[C]Within
your [G]loving [C]arms a[G]gain
[C]Then I’ll [D]smell the [G]roses
Chorus twice
