Detour:Patti Page.
#5 in 1951.

           (Capo 1st fret.)

CHORUS:
G5 C5
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, 
  G5
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
  C5
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
            D5                 G5
should have read, that detour sign.

#1.
G5
Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things 
                                                 D5
I never knowed, because of me not knowin', I now pine.
        G5          G5               C5
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next five years in jail..
            D5                G5              
should have read that detour sign.

#2.
G5
When I got right to the place where it said, 'About Face,'
                                     D5
I thought that all my worries were behind.
        G5         G5           C5
But the farther I go, the more sorrow I know..
            D5                G5
should have read that detour sign.

#3.
G5
When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes 

dropped with a thud..
                                          D5
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine.
        G5            G5            C5
Have no willpower to get, from the hole that I'm in yet..
            D5                G5
should have read that detour sign.
