Verse 1
(D major) At the end of this old highway,
lay the bones of a little town
Along a railroad line
from a long, long time ago (E minor) (G major)
Just (E minor) a (D major) road out through the country,
they were listening for the sound
And the car just seemed to slow
down on its own (G major)
(E minor) From (D major) Bethany to Lineville,
the time sure took its toll
He said, I think this is the turn here,
but I'm not (G major) sure
Well, (D major) the world of good intention,
they tried to make him smile
So he said something of
col (C major) or and obscure (E minor)
They were (B minor) lucky to be laugh (G major) in',
to (D major) roll this gypsy wheel. (Esus4) (A major)
We (B minor) walked a thousand road (E minor) s
and we made good time. (Esus4) (A major)
So if (B minor) only for this moment, (G major) (E minor)
(D major) it's such a lovely day, (E minor) (A major)
(B minor) we should trip this wire (G major) for a (E minor) while. (A major)
On a (E minor) century of holdouts,
and (G major) all we're thankful for
On (D major) the freshest breath of
(E minor) air (C major) you'll ever taste (E minor)
Rose and yellow pines,
sweet (G major) the memory
Yeah, we'll (D major) stop and say hello, (E minor)
(C major) but (E minor) we won't stay
Yeah, we'll (D major) stop and say (E minor) hello,
(C major) but we won't (E minor) (G major) stay (A major) (D major)
Well, the kids were tired and troubled
So he veered off the reports
And told a story about them
growing up on a farm (G major)
She fixed (D major) them all a sandwich,
said I spy something blue
They said goodbye,
they headed out for home (G major)
He could (D major) almost see the ocean,
beyond the fields of green
Beyond the life he lived and
knew before (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Further back than memories,
the black and white he dreamed
Is a picture of them stand
(C major) ing by the door (E minor)
Hey, we're (B minor) lucky to be living, (G major) (E minor)
to (D major) roll this gypsy wheel (A major)
We've (B minor) walked a thousand (E minor) road (G major) s
and we've made good (D major) times (A major)
So if (B minor) only for this moment, (G major)
it's (D major) such a lovely (E minor) day
(A major) We (B minor) should trip this
wire (G major) for a (D major) while (A major)
On a (E minor) century of hold -outs
And (G major) all we're thankful for
On the (D major) freshest (B minor) breath (E minor) of air
(C major) you'll ever taste (E minor)
Rose and yellow vinings,
sweet the memories (G major)
Hey (D major) we'll stop and say (E minor) hello,
(C major) but we won't (E minor) stay (G major)
Yeah (E minor) we'll (D major) stop and say hello,
(C major) but we won't (D major) (G major) stay (E minor) (G major)
Yeah, (E minor) stop (D major) and say hello,
(C major) but we won't (E minor) stay (G major)
