(Capo on 4)

Intro.:  (D) x 4

(Em) There's a new ridge (G)road that cuts the (A)mountain to the (D)bone
(Em) Slices through the (G)woods like there (A)ain't nobody (D)home
You can (Em)wheel on up the (A)valley view, you'll (D)never feel the (G)climb
Oh, but (D)I'll take the (A)old trail every (D)time

(Chorus)
The (G)old trail, just (D)moseys right along
Moves at the speed of a (A)sweet love song
And the (Em)wind through the trees (D)carries her (F#)own wind (G)chimes
Yeah, (D)I'll take the old (A)trail every (D)time

(Em) Lately it (G)seems things (A)vanish by degrees (D)
(Em) How soon we forget, (G) we made our (A)tree houses out of (D)trees
(Em) When we gonna (A)realize some (D)reasons just don't (G)rhyme
Yeah, (D)I'll take the (A)old trail every (D)time

(Chorus)
The (G)old trail, now (D)may she never fade
The one where the deer always (A)have the right of way
How I (Em)love to watch the wintergreen a-(D)long the (F#)timber (G)lines
Yeah, (D)I'll take the (A)old trail every (D)time

(A) People in cars let the (G)radios do the talkin'
But I always find that I'm (E)singin' when I'm (A)walkin'

(Chorus)
The (G)old trail just (D)moseys right along
Moves at the speed of a (A)sweet love song
And the (Em)wind through the (D)trees (F#)carries her own wind (G)chimes
Yeah, (D)I'll take the (A)old trail every (D)time

(D) I'll take the (A)old trail every (D)time
