Gently Does It

Tom: C

C    G    F      C

[Verse]
               G
Gently does it, for a change
          C                          F
I used to think you were just like a mountain range
    C                                 G
Your big boots stomped where small men feared to tread
        C                   F
I could hardly believe what I just read

[Chorus]
      G                        C               F
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
               G                     C    G   C     F  C  G  C
I hear they're building a highway to take you home

[Verse]
                         G
They say you can't travel anymore
    C                       F
But you've got the key to a new front door
    C                              G
And, don't you know cause' you once said it all
         C                            F
When you stand so high, you've got so far to fall

[Chorus]
      G                        C               F
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
               G                     C    G   C     F  C  G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home

[Instrumental]
C   G   C   F
C   G   F      C

[Verse]
                      G
Not everyone looks you eye to eye
               C                         F
'Cause you get difficult, dangerous, I'm damned if I'll lie
      C
But we all pay the price
          G          C    F
When they place your ante high

[Chorus]
       G                        C               F
When a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
               G                     C    G   C     F  C
I hear they're building a highway to take you home

[Chorus]
      G                        C               F
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
               G                     C    G   C     F  C
I hear they're building a highway to take you home
