Tom: D
Em G D
[Verse 1]
D G D
Once upon a road when I was innocent and free
Em G D
And the back roads of America were like toy land to me
G D
It surely was the promised land and we had ourselves a dream
Em G D
Oh how the milk and honey flowed once upon a road
[Verse 2]
G D
Once upon a road we could live off of the land
Em G D
Watermelons on the vine chicken cookin' in a pan
G D
Water clean and water free you could sleep beneath a tree
Em G D
Love and freedom was our code that was once upon a road
[Instrumental]
Em G D
[Verse 3]
G D
Once upon a road really was a crazy time
Em G D
We believed we could move mountains so we moved them in our minds
G D
Blood and sweat and bitter tears took the days and took the years
Em G D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
G D
Once upon a road we were young and we were fair
Em
Changed the face of all America
G D
But never hung around in the barber chair
G D
We were fighting for a dream fought a mighty big machine
Em G D
There ain't nothing that we know for being once upon a road
Em G D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
