Topic: This Old Road
This is a song that reflects how anxiety has effected my life and the day to day emotions I try and deal with. I hope not too many chordians deal with its complexities.

This Old Roadby Ken Peters Feb 2009
[G]Staring out my window, another cold wind blows the rain. [D] [Em]
[Em]Searching for the answers, like a cancer in my brain. [D] [G]
[G]I try to find a reason, for the footprints that I've made.[D] [Em]
[Em]Buried in the seasons, are the games my mind has played.[D]
[C]Years have past, the times gone [D]by.
[G]Yesterday still [Gmaj7]holds my lonely [Em]cry. [G]
Yet I [C]struggle with my soul and hope to [D]fly.
Ah-h-[Em]h-h. [D] [Em] [D]
This old [G]road, that I roam.
[Gmaj7]Is so [Em]lo-ong, all alo-one.
I have [C]tried in my [Em]quest to carry on,
To be a [C]better man.
To be a [D]better man.
Ah-h-[Em]h-h [D] [Em] [D]
[G]Every night I wonder, how I made it through the day. [D] [Em]
[Em]Clouded in confusion, are the dreams I hold at bay. [D] [G]
[G]Every day I wake up, just to find it's all the same. [D] [Em]
[Em]Looking in the mirror, I find myself to blame.[D]
[C]Shadows chase me through the [D]halls.
[G]Ghosts of times gone [Gmaj7]past hide in the [Em]walls. [G]
All [C]alone I fight and hear my lonely [D]calls.
Ah-h-[Em]h-h. [D] [Em] [D]
This old [G]road, that I roam.
[Gmaj7]Is so [Em]lo-ong, all alo-one.
I have [C]tried in my [Em]quest to carry on,
To be a [C]better man.
To be a [D]better man.
Ah-h-[Em]h-h. [D] [Em] [D]
Instrumentals with saxophones and a growling saxophone as lead following chorus/verse line.
This old [G]road, that I roam.
[Gmaj7]Is so [Em]lo-ong all alo-one.
I have [C]tried in my [Em]quest to carry on,
To be a [C]better man.
To be a [D]better man.
Ah-h-[Em]h-h [D] [Em] [D] [Em] [D]

) That's one of the cool things about Chordie. Having a chance to interpret how you feel the song is played.
