Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Long hard road

Way^D back in my ^Gmemory^D there's a scene that I recall Of ^Aa little run^D-down cabin in the woods Where my dad never^G promised^D that our blue moon would turn gold But^A he laid awake ^Dnights wishin' that it would When the world ^Gwas on ou^Dr radio hard work was on our minds We ^Alived our da^Dy-to-day in plain dirt fashion With ol' overal^Gls and co^Dtton balls all strapped across your back Man, i^At's hard to mak^De believe there ain't nothing wrong But^Bm momma kept the^G Bible read and daddy kept our family fed And^D somewhere in b^Aetween I must have grown Cau^Bmse someday I wa^Gs dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes ^Dme down the ^Aroad to where I want to go Bn A D Now I know, it's a long hard road Sometimes I ^Grememb^Der when I stayed up late at night When t^Ahe sun-up ca^Dme, we got up and went In the shadows of ^Ga work^Ding' day our moonlight hours spent Singin^A' songs a^Dlong with Gramma's radio Now I'm beatin' do^Gwn a o^Dl' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack Li^Avin' in my me^Dmories all in vain Cause those city l^Gights ain^D't all that bright compared to what its like To see^A Lightning B^Dugs go dancin' in the rain Mom^Bmma played the g^Guitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend And ra^Dindrops play^Aed the tin roof like a drum But^Bm I just kept^G on dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes ^Dme down the roa^Ad to where my name is known Now^Bm I'm g^Aone, a^Dnd its a long hard road Yes^Bm, I^A know,^D Its a long hard road.
