Gravel Road Chords & Tabs
Gravel Road by William Elliott Whitmore
C Am F G C
C Am
It must be that time of year
F G
I'm feeling that pull again
C Am
I've got to get away from here
F G
Oh get back to where my feet can stand
C Am
Back to where the trees grow tall
F G
Ain't a sound for miles around
C Am
Except for the distant call
F G C
Of that lonely coyote's howl
F C
Well life's mysteries unravel when my tires hit that gravel
G C
And I leave the paved road far behind
C Am
And every breath I breathe is one step closer to me
F G C
Easing my worried mind
C Am
Way back in the sticks
F G
is where I feel alive
C Am
where my rusty old '66
F G C
won't even go fifty five

C Am
Nothing can compare
F G
to the joy that I've found
C Am
every time I go back there
F G C
to my own spiritual ground
F C
Well life's mysteries unravel when my tires hit that gravel
G C
And I leave the paved road far behind
C Am
And every breath I breathe is one step closer to me
F G C
Easing my worried mind
C Am
I'll make a quart of sweet corn whiskey
F G
From ten gallons of sour mash
C Am
Turn a pile of firewood
F G C
Into a pile of sky grey ash
C Am
If there's anything left inside me
F G
That remembers what it's like to feel
C Am
That cold rain falling on the top of my head
F G C
And the mud beneath my heels
F C
Well life's mysteries unravel when my tires hit that gravel
G C
And I leave the paved road far behind
C Am
And every breath I breathe is one step closer to me
F G C
Easing my worried mind
C Am
And every breath I breathe is one step closer to me
F G C
Easing my worried mind
