Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – Down That Road Tonight on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
A
Seems like lately
       D
we're losin' touch
E                A
Work to hard and worry
too much
I think it's time
     D
 for me and you
       E
To get back to what
           A
 we used to do

[Verse 2]
A
We'd steal away on
   D
 a Saturday night
E
Meet in the field
          A
when the time was right
Just us two and a
 D
starry sky
E              A
Felt like paradise

[Chorus]
B        E    A
  I said ooh.... baby
       B
goin' down that road
   C#m  B
tonight
            E
I said it's too.
 A
  crazy
        B
Need to hold each
       E
 other tight

[Post Chorus]
B        E    A
Thinkin' ooh    maybe
     B
the moon stills shines
     C#m   B
 as bright
      E
As it did back then,
        A
it'll shine again
B                E
Down that road tonight

[Verse 3]
A
Remember all the songs
         D
 that we used to know
E
Dancin' in the dark
        A
to the radio
Lost in the rythmn,
         D
 kickin' up some heat
    E
The memories are
          A
still so sweet

[Verse 4]
A
Time's gone by but
      D
it's plain to see
  E
I still love you
         A
and you still love me

Let's shake these
troubles
          D
 put 'em all aside
  E
C'mon we're gonna
           A
 take that ride

[Chorus]
B        E    A
  I said ooh     baby
       B
 goin' down that
        C#m  B
 road tonight
            E
I said it's too
  A
    crazy
        B
Need to hold each
       E
 other tight


[Post Chorus]
B        E    A
Thinkin' ooh    maybe
     B
 the moon stills
            C#m    B
shines as bright
        E
Like it did back then,
       A
 it'll shine again
B                A
Down that road tonight

E    A
