The Wilderness Road

Am E C Am E Am E There's some of them who never got this far, Am Walking down the wilderness road, E Am E They either got kilt by a brave or a b'ar, Am Stalking down the wilderness road, C E7 Am E Oh they come here to settle near the O-hio, Am E Am E But when it's a question if you live or die Oh, Am E Am E You'll head back for Vermont and gooseberry pie, Am And for-get the wilderness road, E Am E7 Am Forget the wilderness road, forget the wilderness road. E A track for Boone or a Gurdeys the same, Am Walking down the wilderness road, E Am E Fear ani't no dream it's the most natural thing, Am Stalking down the wilderness road, C E7 Am E All the Indi-ans are painted like demons from hell, Am E7 They're tired of the sweet talking lies that you tell 'em, Am E Am E7 They'll scalp you clear up to the old cere-bellum, Am E Am You'll die on the wilderness road, E Am E7 Am You'll die on the wilderness road, you'll die on the wilderness road. E7 Am E Clark's not in Ken-tucky he's up in Vin-sennes, Am And that's miles from the wildeness road, E Am E The Cherokee, Shawnee and their next of kin, Am Have gone wild on the wilderness road, C E7 Am E But the worst are the Gurdeys those two rene-gades, Am E Am E Found vengeance on Clark for the fools that he made of 'em, Am E And there's not a one who's not afraid of 'em, Am Here on the wilderness road, E Am E Am Here on the wilderness road, here on the wilderness road, E7 Am E Hark in the distance I hear marching feet, Am Coming down the wilderness road, E Am Bm E The Indians and Gurdeys are in wild re-treat, Am Running down the wilderness road, C Dm E7 Someones shouting Clark's back in Ken-tucky a-gain, Am E Am E Folks like Blue Whetzel and brave Betty Zane, Am E A E Will go down in History. And people a-gain, Am E Am Will roll down the wilderness road, A E Am Em Am A Am Roll down the wilder-ness road, roll down the wilder-ness road,
