Intro 1
(D major) (G major)
Verse 1
Now, (G major) friends,
(D major) if you'll just listen (G major) to me,
you'll get some good hard
-earned (C major) advice.
Now, (D major) I don't aim to meddle
in your business.
I'm just trying to save
you an awful (G major) price.
Cause you see these (D major) teeth
that I (G major) ain't got,
and these knots on my bald head, (C major)
Well, I (D major) guarantee you boys,
I didn't get them lying
home in the bed. (G major)
Now, you take the smart
aleck (E minor) in any town, (G major)
of him folks want no part,
Cause he acts like (C major) his head was only
made to (D major) hold his ears apart.
Now, you know,
he might (G major) not like what I'm about to say,
and my words may make him sore, but,
I'm (C major) just trying to be helpful, (D major)
because I've been down
that road before.
You (G major) know,
to bully folk (D major) s and (G major) play mean tricks
was (D major) (G major) once my pride and joy,
until one day I was towed (C major) at home,
an (D major) d mama didn't know her little boy.
My head was swelled up so (G major) doggone big,
I couldn't get it through my front door.
And I ain't just talkin' to here (C major) myself,
cause (D major) I've been down that road before.
Now, a little feller (G major) about my size
got tired (E minor) of (G major) be ing pushed about,
So he went to work and
when he got through
Why, (C major) he'd knocked (D major) every
one of my teeth out
Cause one time too many, (G major)
I drugged him wrong
And he evened up the score
(D major) Now (G major) that's what happens
when you get (C major) too big for your britches (D major)
I've been down that road before
Now when (G major) you get to thinking
that you're really smart
Why, there's somebody
smarter than you
And no matter how (C major) much
you boast and brag (D major)
Why, you can still learn a thing or two
So (G major) why don't you go get
some treatments
Just like I've had
And you won't hanker for more
(C major) Cause, boys, I've (D major) really learned
the meaning of livin' and lovin'
I've been down that road before
(G major) Now, the man that walk
(D major) s this (G major) rocky road
Usually gets just what (D major) he deserves (G major)
But (C major) he's just a helpless servant (D major)
To a master that he serves
Now, I've learned to slow
my (G major) temper down
And not to pick no (D major) scraps no more
(G major) Boys, (D major) (G major) it's a lot easier
on the (C major) head and eyes
Cause (D major) I've been down that road before
(G major)
I've Been Down That Road Before
