Somewhere Down The Road

Ralph Mctell


Tom: G

C           D7             G
See you somewhere down the road
C                D7                   G
Through the hour glass the sand has flowed
C                    G
It’s time for moving on
C                     G
Don’t ask where it’s gone
C               D7             G
Maybe it is somewhere down the road

[Verse 2]
C           D7             G
See you somewhere down the line
C                D7                   G
Don’t you worry about me ‘cos I’ll be fine
C                    G
And I won’t fret for you
C                    G
Sometimes I will be blue
C                                D7                 G
But you know I’ll be thinking about you from time to time

[Verse 3]
C           D7             G
Carry me like a song that we both knew
C                D7                   G
Some of the words were gold but just a few
C                    G
You’ll remember for all time
C                    G
Some of them will rhyme
C                 D7            G
Just the way that we both used to do

[Chorus]
C
Somewhere down the road
Em
The sun will always shine
C
Somewhere down the road
Em                    D
The water tastes like wine
                    G
Somewhere down the road

[Verse 4]
C           D7             G
Somewhere down the road is not goodbye
C                D7                   G
It means we’ll meet again or at least we’ll try
C                    G
And on some October day
C                    G
When your leaves are blowin’ away
C                 D7            G
You’ll maybe shed a tear and so will I

[Verse 5]
C           D7             G
I’ll see you somewhere down the track
C                D7                   G
The time has come to cut me a little slack
C                    G
And I’ll be glad I went
C                    G
But it is my true intent
C                 D7            G
To give you a call if ever I get back

[Chorus]
C
Somewhere down the road
Em
The sun will always shine
C
Somewhere down the road
Em                    D
The water tastes like wine
                    G
Somewhere down the road

[Verse 6]
C           D7             G
I went to say farewell to an old friend
C                D7                   G
His time was up but just before the end
C                    G
When no words could express
C                    G
How to leave it best
C                 D7            G
I said I’ll see you somewhere down the road

[Chorus]
C
Somewhere down the road
Em
The sun will always shine
C
Somewhere down the road
Em                    D
The water tastes like wine
                    G
Somewhere down the road
