C Dm F G7 While riding on a train goin' west, I fell asleep for to take some rest. C F C I dreamed a dream that made me sad, Am Dm G7 C Concerning myself and the first few friends I had. C Dm With half damp eyes I stared into the room, F G7 Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon. C F C Where we together weathered many a storm, Am Dm G7 C Laughin' and singin' 'til the early hours of the morn. C Dm By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung, F G7 Our words were told and our songs were sung. C F C Where we longed for nothing and were quite satisfied Am Dm G7 C Talkin' and jokin' about the wicked world outside. C Dm With haunted hearts through the heat and cold F G7 we never thought we could get very old. C F C We thought we could sit forever in fun, Am Dm G7 C But our chances really were a million to one. C Dm As easy it was to tell black from white, F G7 it was all that easy to tell wrong from right. C F C Our choices were few and the thought never hit Am Dm G7 C That the one road we travelled would ever shatter and split. C Dm F G7 How many a year has passed and gone and many a gamble has been lost and won C F C And many a road taken by many a friend, Am Dm G7 C And each one of them I'll never see again. C Dm I wish, I wish, I wish in vain F G7 that we could sit simply in that room once again, C F C Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat, Am Dm G7 C I'd give it all gladly
