                 G            Am7/D
There's a rugged road on the prairie,
                                   G
Stretchin' all across the last frontier
                           Am7/D
There a stranger strives, solitary,
                           G
Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
Am7       G/B          G/D        Am7/D
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Am7           G/B      G/D         Am7/D
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin',
  Am7      G/B       G/D  C#dim
Tell me how you come ridin thru,
         G         C     G/B     B7
Still surveyin' the miles yet to run,
       C       G/B     Am7/D            G
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come.....

                 G              Am7/D
He can blaze the trail tho' the rumblin'
                                  G
Dims his guidin' light to just a spark
                               Am7/D
When the hour is low, he comes tumblin'
                                       G
But when the moon is high he gives his heart
Am7       G/B          G/D        Am7/D
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Am7           G/B      G/D         Am7/D
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin',
  Am7      G/B       G/D  C#dim
Tell me how you come ridin thru,
         G         C     G/B     B7
Gainin' steady till this round is run,
       C       G/B    Am7/D            G
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come....
            G             Am7/D
People far below, chasin' pleasures,
                           G
Offer him directions on the run.
                            Am7/D
Prophets on the path offer treasures
                                      G
And tho' he's mighty hungry, he takes none
Am7       G/B          G/D        Am7/D
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Am7           G/B      G/D         Am7/D
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin',
  Am7      G/B       G/D  C#dim
Tell me how you come ridin thru,
         G            C  G/B    B7
Blindly faithful but followin' none
       C        G/B   Am7/D            G
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come....


                  G                 Am7/D
When the sun goes down at the right time,
                                   G
He comes a-windin' thru the purple haze
                                Am7/D
Just a feather's toucn in the night time,
                             G
But it'll color all my weary days.
C#dim          G              C  G/B   B7
    Shinin' finer than this earthly sun,
       C       G/B     Am7/D            G
On the ragged, rugged road to Kingdom Come
       C       G/B     Am7/D            G
On the ragged rugged road to Kingdom Come…
