GOING DOWN THE ROAD

Music by Sam
Words by Sam and Apollos

Intro:
(D)-(A)-(D)-(G)-(D)

I was (D)going down the (Bm)road
Looking for a (G)way to (A)travel,
Asking (D)questions
Of (Bm)every(G)body I'd (A)see,
Asking (D)questions of (Bm)people
Who (G)didn't know the (A)answers,
(G)Tossed like a (A)ship
On a (G)-(A)troubled (D)sea.

I (D)looked around and (Bm)saw people
(G)Hating each (A)other,
They said (D)climbing up the (Bm)ladder
Of suc(G)cess is what to (A)do.
But they (D)didn't know what to (Bm)say
When they (G)ran into (A)trouble,
All their (G)money and suc(A)cess
Just (G)could not (A)pull them (D)through.

They're (D)making modern (Bm)weapons
That they (G)say are to pro(A)tect us,
But if (D)they ever (Bm)use them
They'll (G)blow the World a(A)part.
I kept (D)looking for a (Bm)way
To (G)stop all of their (A)fighting,
To (G)bring peace to the (A)World
And (G)peace to (A)my own (D)heart.

[Musical Interlude:]
(Em)-(C)-(G)-(D)
(Em)-(C)-(G)-(D)

Well, I'd (D)crammed my head with (Bm)knowledge
From (G)many books and (A)teachers,
So (D)many facts and (Bm)figures
Had (G)cluttered up my (A)mind.
But (D)deep down in(Bm)side me
My (G)life was still so (A)empty,
I knew there (G)had to be an (A)answer
Some(G)where that (A)I could (D)find.

I found that (D)happiness is (Bm)not
A (G)big pile of (A)money,
A new (D)car, a pretty (Bm)girl
Or a (G)fancy diamond (A)ring.
I needed (D)something that's for (Bm)real
That an (G)atom bomb couldn't (A)bother,
(G)Something in(A)side me
That could (G)-(A)set me (D)free.

One (D)day I finally (Bm)realized
That the (G)answer I was (A)seeking,
Was (D)more than this (Bm)World
Could ever (G)offer any (A)man.
So I (D)opened up my (Bm)heart
And I (G)asked the Lord to (A)come in,
And (G)that was the (A)day
A whole new (G)life for (A)me be(D)gan.

I hear (D)lots of people (Bm)talking,
They (G)all say they know the (A)answers,
But if (D)they know what they're (Bm)doing
Why are they (G)so afraid to (A)die?
Now the only (D)thing that I can (Bm)tell you
That (G)ever made me (A)happy,
Was when (G)I came to (A)Jesus
And He (G)gave me (A)peace of (D)mind.
Yes, the (D)only thing that (Bm)I can say
That (G)ever made me (A)happy
Was when (G)I came to (A)Jesus
And He (G)eased my (A)troubled (D)mind.
