The Journeys End

The Strawbs


Tom: Em

G  C  G  Am  G

[Verse 1]
    C                         G
The signpost stands where the crossways meet
        Am                  G
There's but one road to the journey's end
    C                      G
The wanderer bent with his heavy load
   C             G
Is waiting for a friend


[Verse 2]
    C                  G
The sun sinks slowly behind the hill
    C                         G
The dead leaves lie where the wind has blown
C                   G
Likewise he who has travelled far
     C             G      C  D  F#m7  B
Must find his way alone


[Verse 3]
    C                    G
And as he leaves, so the signpost turns
   C                    G
To point the way to the journey's end
    C                     G
The old grey man with his heavy load
   C              G
No longer needs a friend
