Biography:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

Waltz
[C]Bits and [Em]pieces, [Am]you offered Am/G]
[F]Of your life I [C]didn't think
They [G]meant a lot
Or said much for [C]you
[C]And all the [Em]chances to [Am]follow [Am/G]
[F]Didn't make a [C]lot of sense
When [G]stacked against
The [Em]choices you [Am]made [Am/G]
CHORUS 1:
[F]For yours [G]was the [C]open road.
The [F]bitter song, the [G]heavy load
That I couldn't [C]share
Though the [Em]offer was [Am]there. [Am/G] [F]
[F]Every [G]time you [C]turned around
Now it's not like you made out
To hang around
Although you know
I made some sounds
To show that I cared
And when it looked like you heard the call
I didn't say a lot
Although I could have said
Much more had I dared
(CHORUS)
And if I had followed
A little ways
Because were friends
You would have made me
Welcome out there
But we both know it's just as well
Cause some can go, but
Some are meant
To stay behind
And it's always that way
CHORUS 2:
And yours is the open road.
The bitter song, the heavy load
That I'll never share
Though the offers still there
Every time you turn around
And yours is the open road.
The bitter song, the heavy load
That I'll never share
Though the offers still there
Every time you turn around
Every time you turn around
Every time you turn around
