Once Upon A augmentedA Road
Recorded by Tom T. Hall

intro D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD

D MajorD      G+G               D MajorD
Once upon a road when I was innocent and free
           E minorEm    G+G           D MajorD
And the back roads of America were like toy land to me
         G+G                   D MajorD
It surely was the promised land and we had ourselves a dream
             E minorEm   G+G      D MajorD
Oh how the milk and honey flowed once upon a road

      G+G               D MajorD
Once upon a road we could live off of the land
          E minorEm   G+G          D MajorD
Watermelons on the vine chicken cookin` in a pan
           G+G                D MajorD
Water clean and water free you could sleep beneath a tree
             E minorEm  G+G          D MajorD
Love and freedom was our code that was once upon a road

E minorEm G+G D MajorD
      G+G            D MajorD
Once upon a road really was a crazy time
             E minorEm     G+G            D MajorD
We believed we could move mountains so we moved them in our minds
              G+G                 D MajorD
Blood and sweat and bitter tears took the days and took the years
            E minorEm  G+G           D MajorD
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
      G+G                D MajorD
Once upon a road we were young and we were fair
            E minorEm
Changed the face of all America
G+G                  D MajorD
But never hung around in the barber chair
            G+G             D MajorD
We were fighting for a dream fought a mighty big machine
              E minorEm  G+G           D MajorD
There ain`t nothing that we know for being once upon a road
            E minorEm  G+G           D MajorD
We have little left to show for being once upon a road

outro E minorEm G+G D MajorD  E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD
