G D G D G C G This road winds down through the valley, Am D7 G Through the warm green meadows I call home. G7 C A Turn around, and it leads across the mountains, G C G Where the wind keeps telling me to roam.
Down this road there's a fire always burning.
There's a place at the table set for me.
It's the same road that leads way over yonder,
Where there's such a lot of world I'd like to see.
G C G
There's so much of this old world I long to see.
C G
Tell my momma not to worry.
Am D7 G
I couldn't bear to know I made her cry.
C G
Tell my poppa if you see him.
Em A7 D7
I tried, but I just couldn't say goodbye.
I long to see the places they call somewhere -
It's been my dream ever since my life began.
And someday when my wandering days are over,
G C
I'll be coming back this road -
G C
You'll see me walking down the road -
G C
I'll be coming back this road:
G
A better man.
(Words and music by Randy Sparks, 1964)
Notes: Randy Sparks, the leader and founder of folk group The New Christy Minstrels, wrote this song specially for John Denver at the very beginning of his career.
