(Chorus)
A
They say don’t go--------- (They say don’t go),
A
Down Shady Grove Road------ (Down Shady Grove Road).
A D A
They say don’t go---------, down Shady Grove Road,
A
Cause one man he did------- (One man he did),
A
And never came home------,
A E A
When he went down Shady Grove Road.
A D
A long time ago, this old man told me,
D A E
“Hear what I say son, please heed my advice.
E A D
Don’t go down that dark road, it’s full of heartache and misery.
D A E A
It will take your soul, and never think twice.”
(Repeat Chorus)
It’s where people go, to drown out their sorrow,
The bottles and barstools, are line up in rows.
They don’t have a home, no they’ll be there tomorrow.
Time it stands still, down Shady Grove Road.
