The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

   D (xx0232@1)         G (320003@1)   DWay (xx0232@1)back in my memory there's a scene that I recall
   A (x02220@1)         DOf (xx0232@1)a little run-down cabin in the woods
                  G (320003@1)      DWhere (xx0232@1)my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold
   A (x02220@1)            DBut (xx0232@1)he laid awake nights wishin' that it would
               G (320003@1)      DWhen (xx0232@1)the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds
   A (x02220@1)         DWe (xx0232@1)lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion
               G (320003@1)      DWith (xx0232@1)ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back
      A (x02220@1)            DMan, (xx0232@1)it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong
   Bm (x24432@1)           GBut (320003@1)momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed
   D (xx0232@1)            AAnd (x02220@1)somewhere in between I must have grown
   Bm (x24432@1)           GCause (320003@1)someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
      D (xx0232@1)         ATakes (x02220@1)me down the road to where I want to go
   Bn A (x02220@1)   DNow (xx0232@1)I know, it's a long hard road
            G (320003@1)   DSometimes (xx0232@1)I remember when I stayed up late at night
      A (x02220@1)         DWhen (xx0232@1)the sun-up came, we got up and went
                  G (320003@1)   DIn (xx0232@1)the shadows of a working' day our moonlight hours spent
      A (x02220@1)      DSingin' (xx0232@1)songs along with Gramma's radio
                  G (320003@1)   DNow (xx0232@1)I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack
  A (x02220@1)          DLivin' (xx0232@1)in my memories all in vain
                  G (320003@1)      DCause (xx0232@1)those city lights ain't all that bright compared to what its like
      A (x02220@1)         DTo (xx0232@1)see Lightning Bugs go dancin' in the rain
   Bm (x24432@1)           GMomma (320003@1)played the guitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend
      D (xx0232@1)         AAnd (x02220@1)raindrops played the tin roof like a drum
   Bm (x24432@1)        GBut (320003@1)I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
      D (xx0232@1)            ATakes (x02220@1)me down the road to where my name is known
   Bm (x24432@1)  A (x02220@1)   DNow (xx0232@1)I'm gone, and its a long hard road
   BmA     DYes, (xx0232@1)I know,  Its a long hard road.
