Verse 1:
         C           F                G
I was looking for a place to hang my hat
        F              G             C
And a place to lay me down my heavy load
    C               F             C           F
I found it in the woods, in the cabin on the hill
 C           G          C
Down at the end of the road
          C             F                G
We were looking for a place to raise a child
               F             G                  C
'Cause she'd soon be giving birth to one that showed
         C              F            C         F
And we found it in the woods, in a cabin on a hill
 C           G          C
Down at the end of the road

Chorus:
 F                      G
Down at the end of the road
 F                                 G
Down at the end of an old country road
C                   F             C               F
We found what we needed for the family we would raise
  C          G          C
Down at the end of the road


Verse 2:
   C        F              G
A girl was born, December 23rd
      F        G                 C
Just one day short of Christmas Eve
                  C                F    C               F
And through the years we tried to move many different times
          C            G                 C
But we landed on the place we couldn't leave
        C                 F               G
So we prayed to God that we might have a son
    F              G       C
And he was born December '92
           C                F               C       F
And we keep looking for a place to move away, move away
       C            G               C
But leaving was a thing we couldn't do


Bridge:
C          F              G
20 years flew by like 20 days
             F            G                        C
And the blessings grew from the initial seed we'd sown
      C                      f
Our kids will soon be leaving now
          C             F
They'll leave us here behind
C            G          C
Down at the end of the road


Chorus:
 F                      G
Down at the end of the road
 F                                 G
Down at the end of an old country road
C                   F             C               F
We found what we needed for the family we would raise
  C          G          C
Down at the end of the road
