Rab Noakes - Gently Does It

      Rab Noakes - Gently Does It




[INTRO:] G  D  G  C  G  D  C    G

[VERSE 1:]
              D
Gently does it for a change
          G                         C
I used to think you were just like a mountain range
    G                              D
Your big boots stomped where small men feared to tread
      G                   C
I can hardly believe what I've just read


[CHORUS:]
  D                        G               C
A few years ago you'd been on this road so long
               D                            G    C  G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home____


[VERSE 2:]
                         D
They say you can't travel anymore
    G                       C
But you've got the key to a new front door
             G                   D
Well, they're glad to know you once said it all
         G                           C
And that as you stand, you've got so far to fall


[CHORUS:]
  D                        G               C
A few years ago you'd been on this road so long
               D                            G    C  G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home____


[VERSE 3:]
                   D
We do not always see eye to eye
        G                         C
You get difficult, dangerous, I'm damned if I lie
       G
But we all pay the price
         D               C
And they place your ante high


[CHORUS:]
      D                        G               C
And a few years ago you'd been on this road so long
               D                            G    C  G
I hear they're building a highway to take you home____

I used to think you were just like a mountain range
    G                              D
Your big boots stomped where small men feared to tread
      G                       C
I can hardly believe what this letter said


[CHORUS:]
  D                        G               C
A few years ago you'd been on this road so long
