Well it's down the road and up the hill and just around the bend 
                              G           D 
Pick 'em and put 'em down and pick 'em up again 
       C             D                  G          C9 
And it sets me into wonderin' what it's really all about 
                                      G          D        G 
Fightin' for the things we know we'll always be without 
  

                     C 
Down the road by the way 
                          G 
Where the laughin' waters play 
                         D 
'Cross the ribbon-wavin' sand 
                      G 
We go walkin' hand in hand 
 

                        C 
Nothin' old and nothin' new 
                         G 
Nothin' special there to do 
                        D 
In those good old yesterdays 
                     G 
Down the road by the way 
 

          C                 D            G               C9 
Well it's light and lovely Brenda comin' cool across the waves 
                                 G            D 
Floatin' over rows she helped me hoe in yesterdays 
         C                D                G                  C9 
And it's me whose thirsty now for all that sweet milk gone to waste 
                            G               D 
Somewhere on the road of no returnin' yesterdays 
 

           C                D               G              C9 
Well it's down the road and up the hill and just about the bend 
                               G           D 
Pick 'em and put 'em down and pick 'em up again 
       C             D                  G          C9 
And it sets me into wonderin' what it's really all about 
                                      G            D 
Fightin' for the things we know we'll always be without
