[Verse 1]
        C                                      F                 C
Well I heard the bells of freedom once as I was coming down the road
F                 C
  Coming down the road
       C                     F             C
And I followed that echo wherever it would go
         F                 C
As I was   coming down the road
 
[Chorus]
          G                           F
But there always seemed to be trouble in my path
  G                       F
I found my hands tied behind my back
        C       F     C
As I was coming down the road
       F         C
Coming down the road

[Verse 2]
       C                                      F                 C
Well I heard the truth call my name, As I was   coming down the road
F                 C
  Coming down the road
        C                         F        C
And I followed that voice to the valley below
        F                  C
As I was  coming down the road
 
[Chorus 2]
        G                             F
And it took me down a path where I was lost all the time
    G                          F
I found some truth but it could never be mine
        C       F     C
As I was coming down the road
       F         C
Coming down the road

[Verse 3]
       C                          F       C
And I saw myself for a second as I really am
        F                C
As I was coming down the road
      C                         F        C
And I had to look away in disbelief I suppose
        F                C
As I was coming down the road
 
[Chorus 3]
  G                             F
I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me
       G                      F
And I wasn't the fella that I thought I’d be
        C       F     C
As I was coming down the road
       F         C
Coming down the road

[Verse 4]
  C                                F          C
I saw you out my window as you was walking alone
F                C
 Coming down the road
      C                    F        C
And I raised my hand as if  to say hello
        F                C
As I was coming down the road
 
[Chorus 4]
        G                           F
But you didn’t wave back, you just walked on by
  G                        F
Alone by yourself till the day you die
       G                             F
And I guess the truth and freedom before us all lies
C           F        C
 Somewhere down the road
C           F        C
 Somewhere down the road
