Mighty Dark To Travel

Written by Bill Monroe

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Chorus

     G
It’s mighty dark for me to travel
    C                 G
For my sweetheart she is gone
The road is rough and filled with gravel
           D7         G
But I must journey on and on.

Verse 1

   G
To me she was a little angel
Sent down to me from God above
         C              G
T’was on the day that I first met her
            D7     G
That I told her of her love.

Verse 2

     G
Many a night we’d stroll together
Talking of our love so fair
            C        G
My love for her will never vanish
           D7        G
For I know I’ll meet her there.

Verse 3

          G
Traveling down this lonesome highway
Thinking of my love that’s gone
        C          G
Knowing soon we’ll be together
               D7   G
She’s the only love I’ve known.
