Verse 1
Now (D major) friend if you'll just listen to (G major) me you'll
get some (D major) good hard earned advice
(G major) Now I (D major) don't aim to meddle (G major) in your business I'm
(D major) just tryin' (A major) to save (D major) you an aw (A major) ful price (D major) (G major)
You see these teeth that I ain't got
and these knots on my (C major) bald head
(D major) I'll guarantee you (G major) boys (D major) I didn't get
them there a lyin' home in the bed (G major)
Now take the smart (D major) alec (G major) in any town
of him folks want no part (C major)
Cause he (D major) acts like his head was only
made to hold his ears apart (G major)
Now he might act (D major) like what (G major) I'm bout to say and
my words would prob'ly make (C major) him sore
But I'm (D major) just tryin' to be helpful cause I've
been down that road before (G major)
To bully folks and play mean tricks
was once (C major) my pride and joy (D major)
Till one day I was toted home and mama
didn't hardly know her little (G major) boy
My head was swelled up so doggone big
I couldn't (C major) get it through my front door (D major)
Now I'm not just talkin' to hear myself
I've been down that road before (G major)
A little fellow about (D major) my size (G major) got
tired (C major) of being puched about (D major)
So he went to work and when he got thru
he'd knocked every one of my teeth out (G major)
One time too many I'd rubbed him wrong (D major)
(G major) and he evened up the score (C major)
(D major) Now that's what happens when
you get too big for your britches
And I've been down that (G major) road before
Now when you (D major) get to thinkin' (G major) you're really smart
(C major) there's somebody smarter (D major) than you
And no matter how much you boast and brag
you can still learn a thing or (G major) two
Go get you some treatments just like I've
had and you won't hanker (C major) for more (D major)
I've really learned the meanin'
of livin' and lovin'
Cause I've been down that road (G major) before
Now the man that walks this rocky road
usually (C major) gets just what he deserves (D major)
Cause he's just a helpless servant
to a master that he serves (G major)
Now I've learned to slow my temper down
and not to pick no (C major) scraps no more
(D major) Boys it's a lot easier on the head and eyes cause
I've been down that road before
(D major) (D major) (G major)
I've Been Down That Road Before
