Verse:
                         G
All you fine young bloods must think yourselves immune
A                         G
From the traps that time will set in the sweetest tune
     D                    G
You must whistle up your winds and rosin up your bow
  A                             D
But none can foretell which is the path the restless muse will go

Verse:
                        C
I used to take delight in my 'baccy and strong beer
  D                         C
I'd blow the smoke rings way up high, watch them disappear
    G                      C
And I'd drain the tumblers dry just to loosen up my tongue
    D                      G
And I'd sing the weary miles behind with a rambling song

Chorus:
F       G    Em   D     C

      G                             C
Well, I've roamed around this world and I've rode the clouds and the waves
   D                           C
I've met with poor men who were kings and rich men who were slaves
     G                         C
And I've knelt beneath the spires and I've heard some holy men
D                       G
Bend the words to fit the world as it seems to them

Chorus:
F       G    Em   D     C
Oh, this rocky road, it makes a poor heart sore

If I ever get off this rocky road, I'll ne'er get on it any more

Chorus:
F       G    Em   D     C
Oh, this rocky road, it makes a poor heart sore
