Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Long hard road

Way^C back in my ^Fmemory^C there's a scene that I recall Of ^Ga little run^C-down cabin in the woods Where my dad never^F promised^C that our blue moon would turn gold But^G he laid awake ^Cnights wishin' that it would When the world ^Fwas on ou^Cr radio hard work was on our minds We ^Glived our da^Cy-to-day in plain dirt fashion With ol' overal^Fls and co^Ctton balls all strapped across your back Man, i^Gt's hard to mak^Ce believe there ain't nothing wrong But^Am momma kept the^F Bible read and daddy kept our family fed And^C somewhere in b^Getween I must have grown Cau^Amse someday I wa^Fs dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes ^Cme down the ^Groad to where I want to go Bn G C Now I know, it's a long hard road Sometimes I ^Frememb^Cer when I stayed up late at night When t^Ghe sun-up ca^Cme, we got up and went In the shadows of ^Fa work^Cing' day our moonlight hours spent Singin^G' songs a^Clong with Gramma's radio Now I'm beatin' do^Fwn a o^Cl' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack Li^Gvin' in my me^Cmories all in vain Cause those city l^Fights ain^C't all that bright compared to what its like To see^G Lightning B^Cugs go dancin' in the rain Mom^Amma played the g^Fuitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend And ra^Cindrops play^Ged the tin roof like a drum But^Am I just kept^F on dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes ^Cme down the roa^Gd to where my name is known Now^Am I'm g^Gone, a^Cnd its a long hard road Yes^Am, I^G know,^C Its a long hard road.
