[Intro]
A D G A | 2x


[Verse]
A                           D  
Sometimes I lead sometimes I follow
           G                            A
This time I'll go where she wants me to go
A                            D
She said maybe today maybe tomorrow
               G                          A
Go deep in the woods down the low valley road


[Chorus]
Esus4                           F#m11      D
While no one was lookin' on the old plantation
  A                              E            D
He took her all the way down the long valley road
E                       F#m11     D
They sent her away not too much later
   A                        G             D    
And left him walking down the old valley road
A         G                A
Walk on,   walk on, walk on alone
       D            G        A
Walk on, walk on,   walk on alone


[Verse]
A                                     D
Out in the hall they were talking in a whisper
           G                   A        
Everybody noticed she was gone awhile
A                              D
Somebody said she's gone to her sister's
             G                            A
But everybody knew what they were talking about


[Chorus]
Esus4                           F#m11      D
While no one was lookin' on the old plantation
 A                                   E           D
He showed her what they do down the long valley road
E                         F#m11          D
She came back around like nothing really happened
A                           G           D
And left him standing on the old valley road
A         G                A
Walk on,   walk on, walk on alone
        D           G               A
Walk on, walk on, walk on alone the valley road


[Outro-Chorus]
Esus4                         F#m11    D
Standing like a stone on the old plantation
   A                        E            D   
The rich old man would have never let him in
E                       F#m11          D    
Good enough to hire not good enough to marry
A                   G      D
When it all happens nobody wins
A         G                A
Walk on,   walk on, walk on alone
       D            G        A
Walk on, walk on,   walk on alone
