Eb7 Ab 
Detour there's a muddy road ahead 
Bb7 Eb 
Detour paid no mind to what I said 
Eb Ab 
Detour oh these bitter thing's I find 
            Eb   Bb7         Eb    Ab   Eb 
Should have read that detour sign 
       Eb 
Headed down life's crooked road, Lot of thing's I never knowed 
                             F#dim     Bb7 
And because of me not knowin'  I now pine 
        Eb 
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next five years in jail 
            Bb7              Eb     Eb7 
Should have read that detour sign 
Eb7 Ab 
Detour there's a muddy road ahead 
Bb7 Eb 
Detour paid no mind to what I said 
Eb Ab 
Detour oh these bitter thing's I find 
            Eb   Bb7         Eb    Ab   Eb 
Should have read that detour sign 
       Eb 
When I got right to the place, where it said about face 
                              F#dim   Bb7 
I thought that all my worries  were behind 
        Eb 
But the farther I go the more sorrow I know 
            Bb7              Eb     Eb7 
Should have read that detour sign 
Eb7 Ab 
Detour there's a muddy road ahead 
Bb7 Eb 
Detour paid no mind to what I said 
Eb Ab 
Detour oh these bitter thing's I find 
            Eb   Bb7         Eb    Ab   Eb 
Should have read that detour sign 
    Eb 
When I got stuck in the mud, All my hopes dropped with a thud 
                                  F#dim   Bb7 
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine 
       Eb 
Had no will power to get from the hole that I'm in yet 
            Bb7              Eb     Eb7 
Should have read that detour sign 
Eb7 Ab 
Detour there's a muddy road ahead 

Bb7 Eb 
Detour paid no mind to what I said 
Eb Ab 
Detour oh these bitter thing's I find 
            Eb   Bb7         Eb    Ab   Eb 
Should have read that detour sign
