Redemption Road


Capo 4th fret G C D7/F# G G Bm Paid the man all he was owed, Am D/F# Tipped my hat and walked away. Dm7/F Em Down that sweet redemption road, D7/F# G Put it down to yesterday. C D/F# Em Come redemption my old friend, D/F# C D/F# When the seeds of life are sowed. G C Come and lead me to the end D/F# G Of that sweet redemption road.

Looking back I can't complain.
I took out what I put in.
Days of snow and days of rain
And redemption in the end.

Come redemption my old friend,
When the seeds of life are sowed.
Come and lead me to the end
Of that sweet redemption road.

Only time and time alone
Treats each weary soul the same.
When my sum of days has flown,
Time alone will know my name.
When my sum of days has flown,
Time alone will know my name.

(Music by Geoff Bartley, 2008; Words by Tom Paxton, 2012)

Notes: The chords suggested by Boot Leg also work really well:

Paid the [G]man all he was [Bm]owed,
Tipped my [Am]hat and walked a-[D7/F#]way.
Down that [F]sweet redemption [Em]road,
Put it [Am - D7/F#]down to yester-[G]day.

And the "original" chords as supplied by Boot Leg (he said that this is what Tom himself actually plays, but I'm not sure):

Paid the [G]man all he was [Bm]owed,
Tipped my [Am]hat and walked a-[D]way.
Down that [Dm]sweet redemption [G]road,
Put it [D7/F#]down to yester-[G]day.
