Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 When I was a boy

Four houses down from me, Was a family with an only child

She was the only girl, In this whole world that could make me smile

Chorus

Down the road

I made up reasons to go

Down the road

Somewhere inside of me, there was something she took a liking to

And I asked her to marry me, She said she really wanted to

Chorus

Down the road

To see what life’s gonna hold

Down the road

Bridge

Her momma wants to know, If I'm washed in the blood or just in the

water

Her daddy wants to know, If I make enough to take his daughter

Down the road

Before he could let her go

Down the road

G, A repeat 3 times

* on 4th time

Now down the street from here, There’s an engineer with an only son

And our baby girl says, She believes that he is the only one

Down the road

Bridge

Her momma wants to know, If he's washed in the blood or just in the

water

And I wanna to know, If he makes enough to take my daughter

Down the road

When it comes time to go

Down the road

Down the road

You know I wanna help her go

Down the road

Down, down, down that road

Down, down, down that road
