[Verse]
A G
I pull this blanket up over my shoulders.
D A
I stoke the fire, I check my gun again.
There's a hounds
G
a'baying up over the mountain.
D
By the way they sound, I can tell.
A
they've found my tracks again.
[Chorus]
A
There are some roads
G
I wish I'd travelled.
D
There are some trains
A
I wish that I had rode.
There are some bridges
G
I wish I'd burned, Lord.
D
There are some women
I wish I'd never known.
[Verse]
A G
Last night I slept, in some old holler.
D A
A muddy river rolled by my side.
G
When I woke up I had a fever.
D
For in the night
I dreamt that I had died.
[Instrumental]
(play Chorus!)
[Chorus]
A
There are some roads
G
I wish I'd travelled.
D
There are some trains
A
I wish that I had rode.
There are some bridges
G
I wish I'd burned, Lord.
D
There are some women
I wish I'd never known.
[Verse]
A G
So I'm goin' back down off this mountain.
D A
I'm gonna turn myself in today.
G
She'll be cryin' by the scaffold.
D
When the hangman calls out my name.
[Chorus]
A
There are some roads
G
I wish I'd travelled.
D
There are some trains
A
I wish that I had rode.
There are some bridges
G
I wish I'd burned, Lord.
D
There are some women
I wish I'd never known.
