Intro: A  D  A  D  G  D 

Verso 1: 
     G         D      G             D 
I've damn near walked   this world around 
        A7            D    A7 
Another city, another town 
        D      G            D 
Another friend   to say goodbye 
             A7              D 
And, another time to sit and cry 


         A7            D 
Oh, it's many a mile I have spent on this road 
     A7                 D    G  D  G 
It's many a mile I have gone 

Verso 2: 
G               D    G            D 
Well, there was one,   he knew me best 
             A7                 D    A7 
You know, he gave my poor heart rest 
          D      G              D 
He was my world,   my heart, my dear 
             A7                D 
And now he's gone to God knows where 


         A7            D 
Oh, it's many a mile I have spent on this road 
     A7                 D    G  D  G 
It's many a mile I have gone 

Verso 3: 
G              D      G                 D 
I've seen your towns,   they're all the same 
         A                  D    A7 
The only difference is in a name 
             D    G        D 
And the only home   I ever knowd 
            A               D 
Was a suitcase and the open road 

 
         A7            D 
Oh, it's many a mile I have spent on this road 
     A7                 D    G  D  G 
It's many a mile I have gone 

Verso 4:
G                D     G           D 
So, I'll fill my glass   up to the brim 
               A                     D    A7 
And through my glass, my world looks dim 
          D    G                   D 
I know outside   there's light somewhere 
          A                     D 
Maybe, my ramblin' will take me there 


         A             D 
Oh, it's many a mile I have spent on this road 
     A                  D 
It's many a mile I have gone 

Outro 
          D                  G 
And, it's many a mile I have spent on this road 
     A                  D    G  D 
It's many a mile I will roam
