Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G C G
Oh I can still remember the old place where I was raised.
D C D
That little five-room farm house on the hill.
G D C G
And I can still see daddy when he came home from the fields,
G C G
Walking down the red clay road , his memory lingers still.
[Chorus]
G C G
Red clay road all my burdens you would bare.
C G D
Red clay road all my heartaches you would share.
G D C G
Somehow I’d find the wisdom in the pebbles and the stones,
G C G
When I would walk the red clay road leading to the steps of home.
[Verse 2]
G C G
I could still hear mama crying, when we lost the crops that year.
D C D
When the spring flood came through back in ’42.
G D C G
Well the red clay ran like tear drops, gave us strength we never knew,
G C G
Bound us to each other and somehow we got through.
[Chorus]
G C G
Red clay road all my burdens you would bare.
C G D
Red clay road all my heartaches you would share.
G D C G
Somehow I’d find the wisdom in the pebbles and the stones,
G C G
When I would walk the red clay road leading to the steps of home.
[Verse 3]
G C G
Well, now we all have grown up and gone our separate ways.
D C D
But often I still think about those very special days
G D C G
And even though the times have gone I will always stay
G C G
Walking down the road to home leaving footprints in the clay
[Chorus]
G C G
Red clay road all my burdens you would bare.
C G D
Red clay road all my heartaches you would share.
G D C G
Somehow I’d find the wisdom in the pebbles and the stones,
G C G
When I would walk the red clay road leading to the steps of home.
