I have it on an unmarked tape, so my assumption about the title is just that. Don't know if Doc actually wrote it or not, but it's a beautiful tune - and even makes a nice "parting tune" under the right circumstances. Somewhere Along the Road Performed by Doc Watson [G] Joy at the start [Em] Fear on the journey [C] Joy at the [D] coming [G] home [G] A part of the heart [Em] Gets lost in the learning [C] Somewhere [D] along [G] the road [Am] Along the road Your feet may stumble [G] A pilgrim’s faith may fade [Am] But absence makes the heart grow fonder [C] When darkness hides [D7] the trail --------- [G] Cursing the quest [Em] Courting disaster [C] Perilous [D] nights [G] forebode [G] Moments of rest [Em] And glimpses of laughter [C] Are treasures [D] along [G] the road --------- [Am] Along the path Your steps may stumble [G] And you may go astray [Am] But through it all a heart held humble [C] Will level and light [D7] your way --------- [G] Joy at the start [Em] Fear on the journey [C] Joy at the [D] coming [G] home [G] A part of the heart [Em] Gets lost in the learning [C] Somewhere [D] along [G] the road [G] Yes, a part of the heart [Em] Gets lost in the learning [C] Somewhere [D] along [G] the road

As a 40 year guitar player that just plays enough to sing favorite songs I appreciate simpler chords if possible. I've looked at the chords of Doc Watson and others and for a novice player the chords are difficult. Thanks for the simple. |
