Patti Page - Detour

^Eb7De - ^AbTour there's a muddy road ahead, ^Bb7De - ^EbTour paid no mind to what I said. ^EbDe - ^AbTour oh these bitter thing's I find, Should have ^Ebread ^Bb7that detour ^Ebsign. ^{Ab Eb}

Headed ^Ebdown life's crooked road, Lot of thing's I never knowed. And because of me not knowin'^F#dim I now ^Bb7pine, Trouble ^Ebgot in the trail. Spent the next five years in jail. Should have ^Bb7read that detour ^Ebsign. ^Eb7

When I ^Ebgot right to the place, Where it said about face. I thought that all my worries ^F#dim were be^Bb7hind. But the ^Ebfarther I go the more sorrow I know. Should have ^Bb7read that detour ^Ebsign. ^Eb7

When I ^Ebgot stuck in the mud, All my hopes dropped with a thud. I guess that my heart strings are ^F#dimmade of ^Bb7twine, Had no ^Ebwill power to get from the hole that I'm in yet. Should have ^Bb7read that detour ^Ebsign. ^Eb7
