Intro

Verse 1
I’ve been [Ebm]gone awhile away from you
And I [Bbm]hope you overstand
That I’ve [Ebm]got to do what I must do
To [Bbm]be a better man
Cuz if I[Ebm] was to just to act a fool
Do [Bbm]nothing with myself
Then [Ebm]all my blessings would be cursed
My [Bbm]world would crumble in
It’s a [Ebm]joy when I sit down and
Think of the [Bbm]good times that we have
And [Ebm]what we do to make it through
When the [Bbm]good turns to bad
Well I [Ebm]hope you’ll find it in your heart
And [Bbm]know these words are true
And [Ebm]please don’t fuss
Because I must go [Bbm]do what I must do
(Chorus]
[Ebm] Hey baby don’t you worry
[Bbm]Even though the road is rocky
[Ebm]I’ll be coming home to you [Bb]again
Cuz [Ebm]if you thought that I was lost
[Bbm] I had to bare my cross
Now[Ebm] I’m free from all these [Bbm]chains
Verse 2
A [Ebm]time, a space, a different place
How [Bbm]perfect we might be
[Ebm]I would be the wind that blows
You’d [Bbm]be that Willow tree
And [Ebm]I could never bare the thought of [Bbm]you not by my side
So [Ebm]I would be the warmth of day
You’d [Bbm]be the cool of night
And [Ebm]everyday I pray to Jah that [Bbm]one day you will see
And [Ebm]overstand the fact I must [Bbm]fulfill my destiny
I [Ebm]hope you’ll find it in your heart and [Bbm]know these words are true
And [Ebm]please don’t cry
You know that I [Bbm]must do what I must do
(Chorus]
[Ebm] Hey baby don’t you worry
[Bbm]Even though the road is rocky
[Ebm]I’ll be coming home to you [Bbm]again
Cuz [Ebm]if you thought that I was lost
[Bbm] I had to bare my cross
Now[Ebm] I’m free from all these [Bbm]chains
Bridge
[Ebm] Well and it’s not [Bbm]easy
[Ebm] Jah knows how I [Bbm]try, I try
[Ebm] So don’t you get [Bbm]irie
[Ebm] Jah knows how I [Bbm]try, I try
Verse 3
God [Ebm]knows...Life is one big road
With a lot of [Bbm]signs and turns & twists and curves
[Ebm]Even though the road is rocky
My [Bbm]main thing's to rock and keep on rockin'
From [Ebm] city to city, backyard to yard
And we be [Bbm]seein' the sights, standin' under the lights
And the [Ebm]spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at night
And I'm [Bbm]feelin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holding you tight
But [Ebm]hold on, every single road I roll on
[Bbm]Comes to an end and I'm back home [Ebm]agai-ain
N.C.
So baby please don't cry, there's no valley low and there's no mountain
high
And our [Ebm]love don't die with the passage of time
It [Bbm]just grows more, and just keep strong
And [Ebm]even though I'm gone, I am never too far
You're the [Bbm]light thru the dark, shining right thru my [Ebm]hea-eart
So my journey must start...
Hey baby don’t you worry
(Chorus]
[Bbm]Even though the road is rocky
[Ebm]I’ll be coming home to you [Bbm]again
Cuz [Ebm]if you thought that I was lost
[Bbm] I had to bare my cross
Now[Ebm] I’m free from all these [Bbm]chains

Cuz [Ebm]if you thought that I was lost
