Barefoot On A Gravel Road chords by Lake Fork Verne

Intro: G C D7 G

E                                             A
No shirt, no shoes, sun- tanned in bib over- alls
                                             E
Tall timber, rushing streams, my home has it all
                               B7
My summer job, keep the garden hoed
                                 E
Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel road

E                          A
Times were simple way back then
                                    E
Do your chores early, then do them again
                             B7
And everbody carried his own load
                                 E
Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel road

E                             A
No worry, the big war was far away
                                    E
My uncles, they fought, so I'd have today
                              B7
Thanks to the bravery others showed
                                   E
So I could be barefoot on a gravel road

E                                          A
I've made a lot of foot-prints, and had my fill
                                       E
Many times I have passed this cemetery hill
                                                  B7
The wagon is moving again, and this time I am the load
                                      E
A lad, no longer barefoot on a gravel road.
