Along the Road
Recorded by Doc Watson
Written by Dan Fogelberg

C          Am    Dm
Joy at the start fear in the journey
F          G7     C    G7
Joy in the coming home
C                      Am
But when a part of the heart
     Dm
Gets lost in the learning
F         G7        C
Somewhere along the road

Dm                  F
Along the road your path may wander
  C                        G7
A pilgrim's faith may fail
C           Am        Dm
But absence makes the heart grow fonder
F             Fm        G7
When darkness hides the trail

C           Am    Dm
Cursing the quest courting disaster
F           G7         C   G7
Measureless nights forebode 
C          Am
Moments of rest 
    Dm
And glimpses of laughter
F             G7        C
Are treasured along the road

Dm
When the road gets rough
     F
Your steps may stumble
         C
And your thoughts may start to stray
               Am    Dm
But through it all a heart held humble
F              Fm         G7
Will level and light your way

Repeat #1

              Am
A part of the heart
     Dm
Gets lost in the learning
F         G7        C
Somewhere along the road
