Rab Noakes - Gently Does It
[INTRO:] G D G C G D C G
[VERSE 1:]
D
Gently does it for a change
G C
I used to think you were just like a mountain range
G D
Your big boots stomped where small men feared to tread
G C
I can hardly believe what I've just read
[CHORUS:]
D G C
A few years ago you'd been on this road so long
D G C G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home____
[VERSE 2:]
D
They say you can't travel anymore
G C
But you've got the key to a new front door
G D
Well, they're glad to know you once said it all
G C
And that as you stand, you've got so far to fall
[CHORUS:]
D G C
A few years ago you'd been on this road so long
D G C G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home____
[VERSE 3:]
D
We do not always see eye to eye
G C
You get difficult, dangerous, I'm damned if I lie
G
But we all pay the price
D C
And they place your ante high
[CHORUS:]
D G C
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
D G C G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home____

I can hardly believe what this letter said
