[Verse]
D
The Road goes ever on and on
C                        D
Down from the door where it began.
G                 D
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
G                  A
And I must follow, if I can

D
Pursuing it with eager feet,
C                     D
Until it joins some larger way
G                      D
Where many paths and errands meet.
G                    A
And whither then? I cannot say.

  D
Roads go ever ever on,
 C             D
Over rock and under tree,
  G                   D
By caves where never sun has shone,
  G                    A
By streams that never find the sea;

 D
Over snow by winter sown,
 C                       D
And through the merry flowers of June,
 G               D
Over grass and over stone,
 G                A
And under mountains in the moon.

  D
Roads go ever ever on
 C                 D
Under cloud and under star,
 G                     D
Yet feet that wandering have gone
 G                A
Turn at last to home afar.

 D
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
  C                     D
And horror in the halls of stone
  G                     D
Look at last on meadows green
  G                       A
And trees and hills they long have known.

  D
The Road goes ever on and on
  C                 D
Out from the door where it began.
  G                 D
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
  G                   A
Let others follow it who can!

  D
Let them a journey new begin,
  C                     D
But I at last with weary feet
  G                   G
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
  G                   A      D
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
