Verse
[A]Sometimes I lead sometimes I[D] follow
This time [G]I'll go where she wants me to [A]go
[A]She said maybe today maybe [D]tomorrow
Go deep in the [G]woods down the low valley [A]road
Chorus
[Esus4]While no one was lookin' on the [F#m11]old [D]plantation
He[A] took her all the way down the [E]long valley [D]road
[E]They sent her away not [F#m11]too much [D]later
And[A] left him walking down [G]the old valley [D]road
[A]Walk on, [G] walk on, walk on[A] alone
Walk [D]on, walk on, [G]walk on [A]alone
Verse
[A]Out in the hall they were talking in a[D] whisper
Everybody [G]noticed she was gone [A]awhile
[A]Somebody said she's gone to her[D] sister's
But everybody[G] knew what they were talking [A]about
Chorus
[Esus4]While no one was lookin' on the [F#m11]old [D]plantation
[A]He showed her what they do down the [E]long valley [D]road
[E]She came back around like [F#m11]nothing really [D]happened

[A]Walk on, [G] walk on, walk on[A] alone
Walk on,[D] walk on, [G]walk on alone the [A]valley road
Outro-Chorus
[Esus4]Standing like a stone on the [F#m11]old [D]plantation
The[A] rich old man would have [E]never let him[D] in

[A]When it all happens [G]nobody [D]wins
[A]Walk on, [G] walk on, walk on[A] alone
Walk [D]on, walk on, [G]walk on [A]alone
