Verse 
Em                  G                  A               D 
There's a new ridge road that cuts the mountain to the bone 
Em                 G                A            D 
Slices through the woods like there ain't nobody home 
        Em              A                   D              G 
You can wheel on up the valley view, you'll never feel the climb 
        D             A               D 
Oh, but I'll take the old trail every time 
 
    G               D 
The old trail, just moseys right along 
                        A 
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song 
        Em                     D           F#       G 
And the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes 
      D                 A           D 
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time 

Em        G            A                 D 
Lately it seems things vanish by degrees 
Em                  G           A                  D 
How soon we forget, we made our tree houses out of trees 
Em            A            D                  G 
When we gonna realize some reasons just don't rhyme 
      D             A               D 
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time 
 
    G              D 
The old trail, now may she never fade 
                              A 
The one where the deer always have the right of way 
      Em                               D        F#     G 
How I love to watch the wintergreen a- long the timber lines 
      D             A               D 
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time 

A                      G 
People in cars let the radios do the talkin' 
                           E                A 
But I always find that I'm singin' when I'm walkin' 

    G              D 
The old trail just moseys right along 
                        A 
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song 
        Em               D     F#                   G 
And the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes 
      D             A               D 
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time 

D             A               D 
I'll take the old trail every time
