Capo 3
G G/F#
There's a town by a river
Em D C C/B Am D
And a dirt road that runs through the town, winding around
G G/F#
And As a child I would daydream
Em D C C/B Am G
Where that road might take me when my time for leaving came down
G G/F# Em C
And each night I'd awaken from a dream I was taking
G D G
That old dirt road out of this town
[Refrão]C D B Em
Sweet memories keep haunting me
C G Am D
Calling me like an old friend
G G/F#
And I pray that someday
Em C
I'll ride this halfway
G D G
'Til it turns to that dirt road again
G G/F#
Now I live in city
Em D C C/B Am D
With manmade mountains of steel to block out the sky
G G/F#
And that river of traffic
Em D C C/B Am D
That runs by my window never seems to run dry
G G/F# Em C
And tonight before sleeping I pray God is keeping
G D G
That old place that I left behind
Chorus
C D
In the city tonight
B Em
When I turn out the light
G D G
I'll be riding that old dirt road again
