Detour (Listen to midi) (Listen to sample)

C

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,

G

detour, paid no mind to what it said.

C

Detour, oh these bitter things I find,

D G

should have read that detour sign.

G

1. Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed,

D

because of me not knowin', I now pine.

G G7 C

Trouble got in the trail, spent the next 5 years in jail,

D G

should have read that detour sign. + CHORUS

G

2. When I got right to the place, where it said "About face",

D

I thought that all my worries were behind,

G G7 C

but the farther I go, the more sorrow I know,

D G

should have read that detour sign. + CHORUS

G

3. When I got stuck in the mud, all my hopes dropped with a thud,

D

I guess that my heart strings are made of twine.

G G7 C

Have no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet,

D G

should have read that detour sign. + CHORUS

G - D G

+ Should have read that detour sign. (2x)
