THAT ROAD NOT TAKEN
Joe Diffie
Album: 3rd Rock From The Sun
 

(Note: this song is very difficult to transcribe, since the main intruments
are piano and violin. If you have any corrections, feel free to comment. This
is basically a starting point.)
 
Piano Intro: (Am)  (C)  (F)  (Am)  (C)  (F)
 
(C) Yesteday I missed my exit
(F) On my way to (C) Sears
A song was on the (Am) radio
(Dm7) I hadn't heard in (G) years
For a (Am) minute there the (F) interstate
(C) Was 2nd Ave(F)nue
And I was singing "Ever(C)lasting Love"
(F) And driving (G) home to (C) you
 
 (F) Somewhere down that (G) road not (C) taken (G/B)
 Will for(Am)ever live those (F) dreams that were for(C)saken
 Just (F) every now and (C) then
 I think a(Am)bout what would have (G) been
 (F) Somewhere down that (G) road not (C) taken
 
(C) By now we'd have our own business
(F) And a house just out of (C) town
In a neighborhood that (Am) smelled like dinner
(Dm7) When the sun went (G) down
(Am) Two kids playing (F) in their rooms
(C) With toys we never (F) had
A little girl who (C) looks like (F) you
And a boy, (G) just like his (C) dad
 
 (F) Somewhere down that (G) road not (C) taken (G/B)
 Will for(Am)ever live those (F) dreams that were for(C)saken
 Just (F) every now and (C) then
 I think a(Am)bout what would have (G) been
 (F) Somewhere down that (G) road not (C) taken
 
(Am7) What if I had (G) asked you
(Am7) What if you'd said (G) "yes"
(Am7) There's no way I'll (G) ever know
(F) Still I can't help but (G) guess
 
 (F) Somewhere down that (G) road not (C) taken (G/B)
 Will for(Am)ever live those (F) dreams that were for(C)saken
 Just (F) every now and (C) then
 I miss a (Am)place I've never (G) been
 (F) Somewhere down that (G) road not (C) taken
 
(C) Yesteday I missed my exit
(F) On my way to (C) Sears
