HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL- Jimmy Cliff
Am G C Am G C
CHORUS:
C F F7
I've got a hard road to travel and a rough rough way to go
C F F7
Said its a hard road to travel and a rough rough way to go
C G7
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
C F
My mind's made up, I'll never stop
C G C G
My faith will see, see me through
Let me tell you
C Am
I'm all alone, this lonesome road I roam
C Am
I've got no love to call my very own
C Am
Oh the river gets deeper, hills get steeper
F G G7
And the pain gets deeper every day, yeah ...CHORUS
BRIDGE
Am G C
Aahhh, oh oh
Am G C G7
Aahhh, oh oh one more thing
I dream of a home far beyond the sea
Where there is love, peace and joy for me
Oh in my eyes I see troubles and dangers for me
But destiny where it leads me I must go, hey ...CHORUS
