So, this is not necessarily in the key of the original, but you are 
welcome to transpose it how you see fit... I like this for my voice.
 Also, I don't know how accurate these are, but it's the best I could figure. 
Anyway, this is my first attempt at posting chords...
 I've only played guitar for a couple of months, so go easy on me!
 As far as the strumming pattern, I recommend, DOWN DOWN UP UP DOWN UP. 
The first verse is the only one where I put the Am before the Em. 
And for that line in every verse, the G is on the first upstroke. 
So is the Cadd9 in the last line of every verse.

Chords used:

C, D, G, Am, Em, Cadd9


Intro: C, D, G x2
       C, D, Em, G, Am
       Am, C, Cadd9, G


    C               D       G
Two highways lay before me, which one will I choose
    C                  D                      G
Down one lane I'd find happiness and down the other I would lose
      C              D              Am   G      Em
There is no one that I can trust, I must decide alone
                                   C         Cadd9   G
My decision is an awful one, which road will take me home

(chorus)

       C               D                      G
In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone
C               D             G
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
C              D              Em     G       Am
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
                                                C     Cadd9    G
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice

C                 D          G
Perils, there are many, as I set out on my way
     C                D               G
If I lose your love I know that I can call it back someday
C               D                   Em  G        Am 
Rambler, lonely rambler, just 'cause anyplace is home
                  C            Cadd9  G
Nashville, lights how you have always shined

C                D               G
Wishing now that you had found a word or two to say
        C                D               G
But the mornin' came and we both knew my eyes gave it away
     C                      D                      Em   G         Am
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye I thought only time will tell
                         C       Cadd9 G      
And you can't draw water from an empty well

       C               D                      G
In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone
C               D             G
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
C              D              Em     G       Am
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
                                                C     Cadd9    G
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice (x2)
