Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.
Cm7 F#(13) B7 Smooth road, clear day Fm7 Em7 Am But why am I the only one D7 Dm7 G7 trav'ling this way? Gm7 C7 Fm7 Bb(13) How strange the road to love should be so easy, Cm7 Am7 Ab(13) Dm7 G7 Can there be a detour ahead? Cm7 F#(13) Wake up, B7 slow down, Fm7 Em7 Am Before you crash and break your heart, D7 Dm7 G7 Gullible clown, Gm7 C7 Fm7 Bb(13) You fool, you're headed in the wrong direction. Cm7 Am F#m7 Can't you see the detour ahead? B7 Em The further you travel, B7 Em7 the harder to unravel the web F#m7 B7 she spins around you; Em turn back while there's time, B7 can't you see the danger sign? Em7 Db(13) soft shoulders surround you. Cm7 F#(13) B7 smooth road, clear night, Fm7 Em7 Am Oh lucky me that suddenly D7 Dm7 G7 i saw the light; Gm7 C7 Fm7 Bb i'm turning back away from all this trouble, Cm7 E7 smooth road, Am7 Eb9 smooth road, D7 G7sus no detour G7 Cm7 (G7) A - head.
