On the album, they're tuned about a quarter step down. Unless my record player speed is a little slow. THE BOY DOWN THE ROAD

^ALong long a^Amgo in a ^Ghouse ^G/F#up the ^Emroad Lived a ^Ammaiden so ^Bmbeauti^Emful.

^ADay after ^Amday she ^Glooked the ^G/F#same old ^Emway As the ^Amsun shone ^Bmoff her hair of ^Emgold.

^ASomeday I would ^Amgo there and ^Gask ^G/F#for her ^Emhand Just as ^Amsoon as ^BmI become a ^Emman.

^AIn the after^Amnoon she'd s^Git ^G/F#in the ^Emshade And w^Amave as I w^Bmatched from down the ^Emroad.

^ATime after ^Amtime I ^Gwished my ^G/F#head to ^Emlay In her ^Amarms and at ^Bmlast she would ^Emknow.

^AThen one ^Amday a ^Gstranger ^G/F#came to ^Emcall And t^Amook her far a^Bmway from down the ^Emroad.

^AI watched 'til the ^Amdusk from the f^Gields^G/F# down b^Emelow, But in ^Amvain for the ^Bmnight began to ^Emfall.

^AThen came the ^Ammessage that ^Gsummoned^G/F# me to ^Emtown, And my ^Amknees gave ^Bmway to the g^Emround.

Spok^Aen: They ^Amsay th^Gat this m^G/F#essage c^Emame with her dying breath, The v^Amery last wo^Bmrds she ever^Em spoke:

&^Aquot;Giv^Ame my love to^G the^G/F# boy down^Em the road, And ^Amtell him not to ^Bmcry, for I know."
