Intro:
E MajorE D#D# G#G#
Verse 1:
C#C# F#F# D#D# G#G# C#C#
When I made my start for heaven, I could only find one way.
C#C# F#F# D#m7D#m7
The road that led me through the mountains, and through the valleys.
G#G# C#C#
The road not many folks could take.
C#C# F#F# D#mD#m C#C#
Since I started traveling on my journey
G#G# C#C#
I've covered many, many miles behind me.
C#m7C#m7 F#F# A#mA#m G#m7G#m7
Miles of sun and rain, miles of smiles and pain.
F# minorF#m G#7G#7 C#C# F#m7F#m7 B7B7
The roads been rough but I again would choose the same.
Chorus:
E MajorE G#7G#7 A augmentedA F#m7F#m7
Long and winding road keep on leading me.
B7B7 F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE F#F#
Up ahead I see a sign that points me, straight ahead, to victory.
BB E MajorE BB E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA F#m7F#m7
I know I must be traveling right for I remember passing Calvary.
B7B7 F#m7F#m7 B7B7 F#m7F#m7
And although it's dusty, and it's old, for years its bore the traveler's load.
B7B7 E MajorE D#m7D#m7 G#7G#7
Someday this road will turn to gold.
Verse 2:
C#C# F#F# D#m7D#m7
There are some times, when the rocks hurt my feet.
G#7G#7 C#C#
My body burns from the sweat and the heat.
C#C# F#F# D#m7D#m7
My strengths completely drained and my face marks the pain
G#7G#7 C#C#
My back is bent from the strain
C#C# F#F# D#mD#m
I could turn around, that road is still there,
G#G# C#C#
but every mountain that I climbed I again would have to bear.
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7 A#mA#m D#7D#7
I really can't turn back, someone may be using my tracks.
F# minorF#m G#7G#7 G#G# C#C# F# minorF#m BB
I see one more bend and that just might be this road's end.
Chorus:
E MajorE G#G# A augmentedA F#m7F#m7
Long and winding road keep on leading me.
B7B7 F#m7F#m7 B7B7 E MajorE F#F# B7B7
Up ahead I see a sign that points me, straight ahead, to victory.
