C  Em    F   G
ah ah   uh ah


[Verse]
C                     Em
How many girls choose cotton dress worlds when
F                          C     G
they could have satins and lace?
C                              Em
And stand by her man, through good times and bad
F                             G
and still keep a smile on her face?
C                              C9
How many hearts could face the winters
               F               C
we've known and still not turn cold?
     Em   F            G     C
True love travels on a gravel road.


[Chorus]
C                      C9
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger, on
F                         C
smooth streets paved with gold.
     Em   F            G     C
True love travels on a gravel road


[Interlude]
C   Em  F  G
 ah ah uh ah


[Verse]
C                                Em
Down through the years we've had hard times and tears,
         F                C     G
but it only makes our love grow.
C                           Em                      G
And we'll stay together no matter how hard the wind blows
C                      C9
Not once have I seen blue eyes filled with envy,
F                           C
and stray from the warmth that they hold.
    Em    F            G     C
True love travels on a gravel road.


[Chorus]
C                          C9
Now love is a stranger and hearts are in danger, on
F                         C    G
smooth streets paved with gold.
C     Em   F            G     C
True love travels on a gravel road.


[Outro]
     Em   F            G
True love travels on a gravel. . .
C          Em   F            G
True, true love travels on a gravel. . .
C     Em   F            G     C
True love travels on a gravel road.
C  Em   F                       G
ah ah uh ah  And it's gonna be rough sometimes
C     Em   F              G
Dreams. . .    But I want to
C      Em   F   G
Travel only     along
C             Em    F  G   C
the road with you
