Verse
Em G A D
There's a new ridge road that cuts the mountain to the bone
Em G A D
Slices through the woods like there ain't nobody home
Em A D G
You can wheel on up the valley view, you'll never feel the climb
D A D
Oh, but I'll take the old trail every time
[Refrão] G D
The old trail, just moseys right along
A
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song
Em D F# G
And the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes
D A D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time
Em G A D
Lately it seems things vanish by degrees
Em G A D
How soon we forget, we made our tree houses out of trees
Em A D G
When we gonna realize some reasons just don't rhyme
D A D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time
[Refrão] G D
The old trail, now may she never fade
A
The one where the deer always have the right of way
Em D F# G
How I love to watch the wintergreen a- long the timber lines
D A D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time
A G
People in cars let the radios do the talkin'
E A
But I always find that I'm singin' when I'm walkin'
[Refrão] G D
The old trail just moseys right along
A
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song
Em D F# G
And the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes
D A D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time
D A D
I'll take the old trail every time
