Verse 1:
     C      F        G
I was looking for a place to hang my hat
    F       G       C
And a place to lay me down my heavy load
  C        F       C      F
I found it in the woods, in the cabin on the hill
 C      G     C
Down at the end of the road
     C       F        G
We were looking for a place to raise a child
        F       G         C
'Cause she'd soon be giving birth to one that showed

And we found it in the woods, in a cabin on a hill
 C      G     C
Down at the end of the road

Chorus:
 F           G

 F                 G
Down at the end of an old country road
C          F       C        F
We found what we needed for the family we would raise

Down at the end of the road


Verse 2:
  C    F       G
A girl was born, December 23rd
   F    G         C
Just one day short of Christmas Eve
         C        F  C        F
And through the years we tried to move many different times
     C      G         C
But we landed on the place we couldn't leave
    C         F        G
So we prayed to God that we might have a son
  F       G    C
And he was born December '92
      C        F        C    F
And we keep looking for a place to move away, move away
    C      G        C
But leaving was a thing we couldn't do


Bridge:
C     F       G
20 years flew by like 20 days
       F      G            C
And the blessings grew from the initial seed we'd sown
   C           f
Our kids will soon be leaving now
     C       F
They'll leave us here behind
C      G     C
Down at the end of the road

Down at the end of an old country road
C          F       C        F
We found what we needed for the family we would raise
 C     G     C
Down at the end of the road
