Intro: C  F  Em  F  Em  C
                 F               Em
How can there be trouble in this world?
         F               G     
With the colour in these hills
    F            G
The blue October sky
     F      C         F               G
This little road that winds along the river
C               F               Em
Dusty barns and tractors in the fields
    F                     G     
And families sit in front yards
   F                 G
Or stand outside the churches
F                 G         
Kids are throwing footballs
    F                G
And pulling carts of pumpkins
        F       C      F         G      C
And the morning sun is sparkling on the water
                      F               Em
How can there be such trouble in this world?
          F                 G     
Where the mountains roll so gently
F                 G     
Deer graze on the hillsides
F                 G     
Birds chat on the phone lines
    F          C         F                 G
The whole wide world's a prayer for Sunday morning
    C                 F              Em
The geese inspect the stubble in the fields
    F             G     
And all along the roadside
F                G     
Families stop to wonder
       F           G     
At the new October morning
      F                  G     
And a red tailed hawk is circling
      F               C
And a father hugs his daughter
       F                 C                Am               F
And an old man holds the car door for his wife to come and see
          C                 F
Then they turn and smile at me
              Dm      G               Am
How can there be such trouble in this world?
  F                 C                  F            G
I know of course, I know, that this is not the only picture
  F                  C                   F  ~ G
I don't of course, I don't, know what to do
Instrumental: F  C  F ~ ~ G F  C  ~ ~ G   C  F  Em  C  
                           F                Em
But the road keeps winding through the afternoon
       F                G       
And it doesn't know the sorrow
      F              G
Or an inkling of the shadow
       F               G
Of the rage across the water
    F              G
The hatred and the horror
        F                    C               Am           C
It just wanders through this valley with the river by its side
       F                    G
As the light fades from the sky
    C         F                    C
The beautiful light fades from the sky
