C C G G
C C D G
G G
Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things
I never knowed,
G D
but because of me not knowin', I now pine.
G C
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next
five years in jail,
D G
should've read that detour sign.
C C
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
G G
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
C C
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
D G
should have read that detour sign.
G G
When I got right to the place where it said
"About Face",
G D
I thought of all my worries were behind.
G C
But the farther I go the more sorrow I know,
D G
should have read that detour sign.
C C
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
G G
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
C C
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
D G
should have read that detour sign, let's go.
C C G G
C C D G
G G
When I got stuck in the mud, all my hopes
dropped with a thud,
G D
I guess that my heart strings were made of twine.
G C
Have no willpower to get from the hole
that I'm in yet,
D G
should have read that detour sign.
C C
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
G G
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
C C
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
D G
should have read that detour sign.
D G
Should have read that detour sign
D G
Should have read that detour sign.
