Long Hard Road

        A     G    D             
It's a long, hard road I'm 
    A
traveling on
         G              Em   E
Seems forever I've been gone
              A   G     D    
Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm 
             A
traveling on
       G                        Em
Lord I need to find my way back 
      E
home

[Verse 1]
            G    D            
I hear the voice my sweet momma 
         A   G
called me
        Em              Am
Telling me to change my ways
       G        D             
In my mind, I smell the dogwood 
    Am      G
blooming
         Em             A
Takes me back to yesterday

[Chorus]
        A     G    D             
It's a long, hard road I'm 
    A
traveling on
         G              Em   E
Seems forever I've been gone
              A   G     D    
Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm 
             A
traveling on
       G                        Em
Lord I need to find my way back 
      E
home

[Verse 2]
          G        D            A
I left behind the person that I 
        G
once was
               Em               Am
I changed for good and some for bad
             G       D            
I've wasted days and nights on 
      Am    G
love forgotten
            Em             A
I've traded happiness for sad

[Chorus]
        A     G    D             
It's a long, hard road I'm 
    A
traveling on
         G              Em   E
Seems forever I've been gone
              A   G     D    
Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm 
             A
traveling on
       G                        Em
Lord I need to find my way back 
      E
home

[Verse 3]
              G           D       
I've felt the hurt of a broken 
      A       G
heart inside me
              Em              Am
I've felt the joy of love unchained
              G     D        
I've seen the rain wash away a 
   Am      G
mountain
                Em              A
Like tears have washed away my pain

[Chorus]
        A     G    D             
It's a long, hard road I'm 
    A
traveling on
         G              Em   E
Seems forever I've been gone
              A   G     D    
Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm 
             A
traveling on
       G                        Em
Lord I need to find my way back 
      E
home

[Verse 4]
                   G          D   
I've watched some loved ones dear 
             A     G
to my heart dying
             Em              Am
I've heard a newborn baby's cry
              G        D          
I've walked a path of glory and of
  Am       G
 darkness
              Em                   
I've felt the guilt of a senseless 
A
life

[Chorus]
        A     G    D             
It's a long, hard road I'm 
    A
traveling on
         G              Em   E
Seems forever I've been gone
              A   G     D    
Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm 
             A
traveling on
       G                        Em
Lord I need to find my way back 
      E
home

[Verse 5]
            G       D             
Drank to forget and I've drank to 
   A      G
remember
                    Em          
And I've drank for love and I've 
           Am
drank for hate
              G           D       
I've danced alone with a full moon
      Am      G
 up above me
             Em               A
Lighting the way to heaven's gate

[Chorus]
        A     G    D             
It's a long, hard road I'm 
    A
traveling on
         G              Em   E
Seems forever I've been gone
              A   G     D    
Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm 
             A
traveling on

[Verse 6]
               G       D          
I've felt the love of Jesus 
     A   G
shining on me
              Em             Am
I've felt the devil's wicked ways
               G          D       
Prayed for forgiveness, prayed for
   Am        G
 redemption
               Em                  
Prayed just to make it through the 
 A
day

[Chorus]
        A     G    D             
It's a long, hard road I'm
