Intro:
E    D# G#


Verse 1:
C#                           F#  D#  G#                         C#
When I made my start for heaven, I could only find one way.
C#                                  F#                          D#m7
The road that led me through the mountains, and through the valleys.
G#                                      C#
The road not many folks could take.
C#                              F#      D#m  C#
Since I started traveling on my journey
G#                              C#
I've covered many, many miles behind me.
C#m7         F#           A#m                       G#m7
Miles of sun and rain, miles of smiles and pain.
                   F#m          G#7                       C#    F#m7   B7
The roads been rough but I again would choose the same.

Chorus:
E                    G#7           A            F#m7
Long and winding road keep on leading me.
B7                 F#m7        B7                                  E            F#
Up ahead I see a sign that points me, straight ahead, to victory.
B         E                  B          E                 D     A     F#m7
I know I must be traveling right for I remember passing Calvary.
B7                        F#m7               B7                                 F#m7
And although it's dusty, and it's old, for years its bore the traveler's load.
B7                      E                D#m7           G#7
Someday this road will turn to gold.


Verse 2:
C#                                 F#                   D#m7
There are some times, when the rocks hurt my feet.
G#7                       C#
My body burns from the sweat and the heat.
C#                                           F#                     D#m7
My strengths completely drained and my face marks the pain
G#7                        C#
My back is bent from the strain
C#                         F#            D#m
I could turn around, that road is still there,
G#                                     C#
but every mountain that I climbed I again would have to bear.
C#m7                     F#7                    A#m          D#7
I really can't turn back, someone may be using my tracks.
                 F#m                  G#7               G#    C#       F#m     B
I see one more bend and that just might be this road's end.


Chorus:
E                    G#            A            F#m7
Long and winding road keep on leading me.
B7                  F#m7        B7                          E            F#       B7
Up ahead I see a sign that points me, straight ahead, to victory.
        E                     B         E                          D     A     F#m
I know I must be traveling right for I remember passing Calvary.
B7                       F#m7           B7
And although it's dusty, and it's old, for years its bore the traveler's load.
F#m7            B7              E       D
Someday this road will turn to gold.
A                                           E
And for some, this road's already turn to gold.
