Detour

Eb7 Ab
Detour there's a muddy road ahead
Bb7 Eb
Detour paid no mind to what I said
Eb Ab
Detour oh these bitter thing's I find

Headed down life's crooked road, Lot of thing's I never knowed
                             F#dim     Bb7
And because of me not knowin'  I now pine
        Eb
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next five years in jail

When I got right to the place, where it said about face
                              F#dim   Bb7
I thought that all my worries  were behind
        Eb
But the farther I go the more sorrow I know

When I got stuck in the mud, All my hopes dropped with a thud
                                  F#dim   Bb7
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
       Eb
Had no will power to get from the hole that I'm in yet
