Roads Go Ever On

     E             A      E
The Road goes ever on and on,
 D                      Bsus B
Down from the door where it began.
    E              A        E
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    A       B       A    E
And I must follow, if I can,
    E             A     E
Pursuing it with eager feet,
 D                   Bsus   B
Until it joins some larger way
       E              A      E
Where many paths and errands meet.
     A       B       A      E
And whither then? I cannot say.


[Verse 2]
Am             F   Am
Roads go ever ever on,
      F             G
Over rock and under tree,
    C                 Am       C
By caves where never sun has shone,
     F                 Am       G
By streams that never find the sea;
      Am             F
Over snow by winter sown,
                  Dm               F
And through the merry flowers of June,
      C               G
Over grass and over stone,
     F              Am      G
And under mountains in the moon.


[Verse 3]
 Am            F   Am
Roads go ever ever on
        F              G
Under cloud and under star,
     C              Am        C
Yet feet that wandering have gone
         F       Am   G
Turn at last to home afar.
           Am                  F
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
           Dm                F
And horror in the halls of stone
         C               G
Look at last on meadows green
     F                    Am        G
And trees and hills they long have known.


[Verse 4]
     D             G      D
The Road goes ever on and on
 G                    Asus   A
Out from the door where it began.
     D             G        D
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
     G      A      G      D
Let others follow it who can!
     D              G     D
Let them a journey new begin,
    G              Asus   A
But I at last with weary feet
      D                G       D
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
    G       A        G        D
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
