Every Road (Amy Grant / Wayne Kirkpatrick)

transcribed by Roland Kalus

Lyrics:

1st Verse:

There you go making mountains

out of such a little hill

Here I go mixing mortar

For another wall to build

There’s a struggle in this life we lead

It’s partly you

It’s partly me

Chorus:

Every road thats’travelled

teaches something new

And every road that narrows

pushes us to choos

And I’d be lying if I said

I had not tried to leave a time or two

But every road that leads me

leads me back to you

Here we stand in the middle

of what we’ve come to know

It’s a dance, it’s a balance

Holding on and letting go

There is nothing that we can’t resolve

When love is at stake

When love is involved

Chorus & Fade

Repeat first four bars of chorus and fade...

Since there are 4 guitars and maybe 2 basses on the recording this

represents an arrangment for one guitar. The bass walks

sometime to an Ab while the guitar stays on a dmin7/b5.
