Cheryl Wheeler - Little Road
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   C    F    Em    F    G  C  
How can there be Ftrouble in this Emworld?
With the Fcolour in these Ghills
The Fblue October Gsky
This Flittle Croad that Fwinds along the Griver
CDusty barns and Ftractors in the Emfields
And Ffamilies sit in front Gyards
Or Fstand outside the Gchurches
FKids are throwing Gfootballs
And Fpulling carts of Gpumpkins
And the Fmorning Csun is Fsparkling Gon the Cwater
How can there be such Ftrouble in this Emworld?
Where the Fmountains roll so Ggently
FDeer graze on the Ghillsides
FBirds chat on the Gphone lines
The Fwhole wide Cworld's a Fprayer for Sunday Gmorning
The Cgeese inspect the Fstubble in the Emfields
And Fall along the Groadside
FFamilies stop to Gwonder
At the Fnew October Gmorning
And a Fred tailed hawk is Gcircling
And a Ffather hugs his Gdaughter
And an Fold man holds the Gcar door for his Amwife to come and Fsee
Then they Cturn and smile at Fme
How can there Dmbe such Gtrouble in this Amworld?
I Fknow of course, I Cknow, that this is Fnot the only Gpicture
                    F                     C    F~ G  
I don't of course, I don't, know what to do
INSTRUMENTAL:   F    C   F~ ~  G    F    C~ ~    G    C    F    Em  C  
But the road keeps winding Fthrough the afterEmnoon
And it Fdoesn't know the Gsorrow
Or an Finkling of the Gshadow
Of the Frage across the Gwater
The Fhatred and the Ghorror
It just Fwanders through this Gvalley with the Amriver by its Fside
As the Clight fades from the Fsky
The beautiful liCght fades from the Fsky

Cheryl Wheeler - Little Road

CAPO: 2nd Fret

C F Em F G C

INTRO:

F Em

How can there be trouble in this world?

F G

With the colour in these hills

F G

The blue October sky

F C F G

This little road that winds along the river

C F Em

Dusty barns and tractors in the fields

F G

And families sit in front yards

F G

Or stand outside the churches

F G

Kids are throwing footballs

F G

And pulling carts of pumpkins

F C F G C

And the morning sun is sparkling on the water

F Em

How can there be such trouble in this world?

F G

Where the mountains roll so gently

F G

Deer graze on the hillsides

F G

Birds chat on the phone lines

F C F G

The whole wide world's a prayer for Sunday morning

C F Em

The geese inspect the stubble in the fields

F G

And all along the roadside

F G

Families stop to wonder

F G

At the new October morning

F G

And a red tailed hawk is circling

F G

And a father hugs his daughter

F G Am F

And an old man holds the car door for his wife to come and see

C F

Then they turn and smile at me

Dm G Am

How can there be such trouble in this world?

F C F G

I know of course, I know, that this is not the only picture

F C F G

I don't of course, I don't, know what to do

F C F G F C G C F Em C

INSTRUMENTAL: ~ ~ ~ ~

F Em

But the road keeps winding through the afternoon

F G

And it doesn't know the sorrow

F G

Or an inkling of the shadow

F G

Of the rage across the water

F G

The hatred and the horror

F G Am F

It just wanders through this valley with the river by its side

C F

As the light fades from the sky

C F

The beautiful light fades from the sky
