Don’t This Road Look Rough and Rocky
Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, 1954· Songs Well-Known in America · p.85
G C G D7
Darling I have come to tell you, though it almost breaks my heart
G C G D7 G
But before the morning darling, we'll be many miles apart
Chorus:
C G
Don't this road look rough and rocky
D7
Don't that sea look wide and deep
G C G
Don't my baby look the sweetest
D7 G
When she's in my arms asleep
(Optional Instrumental)
C G D7
Can't you hear the night birds crying, far across the deep blue sea
G C G D7 G
While those others you are thinking, won't you sometimes think of me
(Chorus)
C G D7
One more kiss before I leave you. One more kiss before we part
G C G D7 G
You have caused me lots of trouble. Darling you have broke my heart
(Chorus)
