As you journey down the road my friend 
           A                B       E 
You'll see sights you don't want to see 
C#m               E 
I saw one about a year ago 
        A                  E 
When my wife walked out on me 
         E 
I didn't care so  much about the junk she took 
          A       B       E 
It wasn't worth a second glance 
C#m                 E 
Right now I'd give anything 
           A                  E 
If I could see my little girl dance 
E 
See I've always  been a traveling man 
  A        B     E 
I still do get around 
          C#m            E 
And it's true I knew a  girl or two 
     A            E 
When I was out of town 
E 
But they all add up to nothing 
        A         B         E 
In this world of cheap romance 
        C#m                E 
And I'd trade them all for one short hour 
A              E 
Watching  Amy dance 
          B                    E 
She'd run round  and round in circles and 
B               E 
Clap her little hands 
       A                   C#m     E 
It's a memory that  keeps haunting me 
             E      A       E 
Wish I could see my Amy dance 
                A            E 
Wish I could my little girl dance 
 
E C#m E C#m  A  B 
 
   E 
My Mom and Dad are gone  rest their souls 
   A            B   E 
My brother is  far away 
         C#m              E 
And  the way I thought it would all turn out 
A               E 
And where I am today 
E 
Lord I know I don't deserve no favors 
        A        B         E  
Please grant me one more chance 
C#m              E            A             E 
Just to spend an hour or two  watching Amy dance     
          B                    E 
She'd run round  and round in circles and 
B               E 
Clap her little hands 
       A                   C#m     E 
It's a memory that  keeps haunting me 
             E      A       E 
Wish I could see my Amy dance 
                A            E 
Wish I could my little girl dance 
 
E C#m E C#m  A  B 
 
E 
It all adds up to nothing    
        A         B         E 
In this world of cheap romance 
        C#m                E 
And I'd trade them all for one short hour 
A              E 
Watching  Amy dance
