(Verse 1)
I'd be (Em)glad to (D)tell you the (C)story
About a (Em) soli-(D)tary (C)road
You can't (Em)take no-(D)body (C)with you
And you (C)ain't coming (D)back if you (Em)go

(Verse 2)
It's a (Em)highway (D)teeming with (C)blackjack
On every (Em)corner, young (D)Jeze-(C)bels
Well, they (Em)say it can (D)lead to sal-(C)vation
But you (C)won't be (D)able to (Em)tell
(C)'Cause it's a (Em)solitary road - - -

(Verse 3)
(Em)I was (D)only a (C)wanderer
A lonely (Em)child of (D)circum-(C)stance
When I (Em)heard that (D)nightingale (C)calling me
And he (C)flew right (D)into my (Em)hands

(Verse 4)
Well, he (Em)told me they'd (D)rise up a-(C)gainst me
As it (Em)turned out, (D)this was the (C)case
I saw (Em)jackals (D)roaming the (C)valleys
(C)Grifters all (D)over the (Em)place
See, it's a (Em)solitary road - - -

(Verse 5)
A (Em)kingdom lay (D)high on the (C)mountain
I could (Em)see it through (D)rain and (C)snow
Many had (Em)fallen in (D)fields be-(C)side me
As I (C)cross over (D)every road (Em)

(Verse 6)
When I (Em)reached those (D)gates of the (C)city
I was (Em)trembling, I (D)have to con-(C)fess
Eyes of (Em)judgment lay (D)heavy upon (C) me
The (C)red sun hung (D)low in the west (Em)
On the (Em)solitary road - - -
