Em                  G                  A               D
There's a new ridge road that cuts the mountain to the bone
Em                 G                A            D
Slices through the woods like there ain't nobody home
        Em              A                   D              G
You can wheel on up the valley view, you'll never feel the climb
        D             A               D
Oh, but I'll take the old trail every time

[Chorus]
    G               D
The old trail, just moseys right along
                        A
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song
        Em                     D           F#       G
And the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes
      D                 A           D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time

Em        G            A                 D
Lately it seems things vanish by degrees
Em                  G           A                  D
How soon we forget, we made our tree houses out of trees
Em            A            D                  G
When we gonna realize some reasons just don't rhyme
      D             A               D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time

[Chorus]
    G              D
The old trail, now may she never fade
                              A
The one where the deer always have the right of way
      Em                               D        F#     G
How I love to watch the wintergreen a- long the timber lines
      D             A               D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time

A                      G
People in cars let the radios do the talkin'
                           E                A
But I always find that I'm singin' when I'm walkin'

[Chorus]
    G              D
The old trail just moseys right along
                        A
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song
        Em               D     F#                   G
And the wind through the trees carries her own wind chimes
      D             A               D
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time

D             A               D
I'll take the old trail every time
