capo 4
G F
I met a man
A D
Traveling down the road
G C9 D
He looked me in the eye
G F
And he gave me a ring
A D
And he gave me a rose
G C9 D
And he told me some gypsy lie
Chorus:
D
The road is a lover
F G
You never recover
D G
Not now or any time soon
D
My head starts to spin
F G
When I think where I've been
D G C9
Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune, oh Oh
D C9 D
As the wind chases after the moon
Break (verse chords then Chorus chords)
G F
Through the kindness
A D
Shown me that day
G C D
I gave him this melody
G F
And we sang in duet
A D
`Neath the stars in the sky
G C D
And the shadows of dancing trees
Chorus:
D
The road is a lover
F G
You never recover
D G
Not now or any time soon
D
My head starts to spin
F G
When I think where I've been
D G C9
Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune, oh Oh
D C9 D
As the wind chases after the moon
