E                   G#m   A                    E  B 
Got my hands on the wheel, all night I've been rolling 
C#m                  G#m A                        G#m B 
Since you' ve run to him, I don' t care where I'm go—in’ 
A                 G#                  C#m            A 
'Cause any road I take won' t make my heartache disappear 
E         C#m            A B             E 
And every road winds up a  long trail of tears 
 
 
        E               F#              A               B       
'Cause it' s a one way, lonely highway, tears fall like rain 
E              F#              A                B 
Cause all I see is your memory with each step I take 
A                  G#                       C#m             A 
If you ever have a change of heart, you' ll find me waiting here 
E         C#m   A    B             E 
Baby just follow the long trail of tears 
 
 
I stood by watching while our bridges crumbled 
And I drove you away to the arms of another 
I could drive for miles and miles if I could hold you near 
But I' m bound to travel a long trail of tears 
 
Chorus 
 
Baby just follow my long trail of tears
