On the album, they're tuned about a quarter step down. Unless my record player
speed is a little slow. 
 
        THE BOY DOWN THE ROAD
A (x02220@1)        Am (x02210@1)    G (320003@1)   G/F# (320002@1) Em (022000@1) 
Long long ago in a house up the road

        Am (x02210@1)      Bm (x24432@1)  Em (022000@1)Lived a maiden so beautiful.

A (x02220@1)       Am (x02210@1)    G (320003@1)        G/F# (320002@1)   Em (022000@1)                  
Day after day she looked the same old way

       Am (x02210@1)      Bm (x24432@1)            Em (022000@1)As the sun shone off her hair of gold.

A (x02220@1)             Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1)  Em (022000@1) 
Someday I would go there and ask for her hand

        Am (x02210@1)    Bm (x24432@1)       Em (022000@1)Just as soon as I become a man.


A (x02220@1)         Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1)G/F# (320002@1) Em (022000@1) 
In the afternoon she'd sit in the shade

     Am (x02210@1)      Bm (x24432@1)                 Em (022000@1)And wave as I watched from down the road.

A (x02220@1)        Am (x02210@1)   G (320003@1)       G/F# (320002@1)  Em (022000@1) 
Time after time I wished my head to lay

       Am (x02210@1)        Bm (x24432@1)           Em (022000@1)In her arms and at last she would know.

A (x02220@1)      Am (x02210@1)  G (320003@1)      G/F# (320002@1)  Em (022000@1) 
Then one day a stranger came to call

     Am (x02210@1)         Bm (x24432@1)              Em (022000@1)And took her far away from down the road.

A (x02220@1)                Am (x02210@1)           G (320003@1)  G/F# (320002@1) Em (022000@1) 
I watched 'til the dusk from the fields down below,

       Am (x02210@1)         Bm (x24432@1)           Em (022000@1)But in vain for the night began to fall.

A (x02220@1)           Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)     G/F# (320002@1) Em (022000@1) 
Then came the message that summoned me to town,

       Am (x02210@1)       Bm (x24432@1)        Em (022000@1)And my knees gave way to the ground.


    A (x02220@1)      Am (x02210@1)  G (320003@1)      G/F# (320002@1)  Em (022000@1) 
Spoken: They say that this message came with her dying breath,

     Am (x02210@1)       Bm (x24432@1)        Em (022000@1)The very last words she ever spoke:

 A (x02220@1)     Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1)   Em (022000@1) 
"Give my love to the boy down the road,

    Am (x02210@1)            Bm (x24432@1)  
And tell him not to cry, for I know."
