Down The Road    Mary McCaslin

- Instrumental verse -
(E) Sun is rising (C#m)high, (A) burning into the (E)day,
I will say good(C#m)bye, (A) I'll be going a(E)way,
Brush away my (E/D)doubts what tomorrow will (A/C#)ho(A)ld,
Feeling fine for (C#m)now, (A) going down the (E)road.

To a city to (C#m)sing (A) about the trees and the (E)wind,
About the hills in the (C#m)spring, (A) and the rivers that (E)bend,
The rocky deep (E)pass (E/D)and the poppies and (A/C#)po(A)sies,
Running through the (C#m)grass, (A) up and down the (E)road.

Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo,
Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo.
Do dodo dodo do-dn (E/D)doo, do dodo dodo do (A/C#)do-(A)doo,
Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo.

In the dark they (C#m)sit (A) and they holler for (E)more,
White smoke in a (C#m)wisp (A) from here to the (E)door,
Their admission they (E/D)pay for the stories they're (A/C#)to(A)ld
Of a clear new (C#m)day, (A) hold me down on the (E)road.

So heavy rain at my (C#m)back, (A) lazy meadows a(E)head,
In my book I keep (C#m)track (A) of the promises (E)said.
For my songs in a (E/D)town that tomorrow will (A/C#)ho(A)ld,
Feelin' fine for (C#m)now, (A) I'm going down the (E)road.

Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo,
Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo.
Do dodo dodo do-dn (E/D)doo, do dodo dodo do (A/C#)do-(A)doo,
Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo.

The sun is rising (C#m)high, (A) burning into the (E)day,
So I will say good(C#m)bye, (A) I'll be going a(E)way,
I'll brush away my (E/D)doubts what tomorrow will (A/C#)ho(A)ld,
I'm feeling fine for (C#m)now, (A) going down the (E)road,
I'm feeling fine for (C#m)now, (A) going down the (E)road,
I'm feeling fine for (C#m)now, (A) going down the (E)road.

Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo,
Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo.
Do dodo dodo do-dn (E/D)doo, do dodo dodo do (A/C#)do-(A)doo,
Do do do do (C#m)doo, (A) do-dn dodo do (E)doo.
