Bert Sommer (7 de fevereiro de 1949 — Albany, 23 de julho de 1990) foi um músico estadunidense que, antes de seguir uma obscura porém excelente carreira solo, chegou a gravar o single And Suddenly/Ivy, Ivy (1967) como vocalista da banda de rock barroco The Left Banke e a escrever cinco temas para The Vagrants, do guitarrista Leslie West, (que logo formaria The Mountain).
Esses trabalhos anteriores permitiram que o potencial de Bert fosse descoberto pelo empresário Dominic Sicilia

THE ROAD TO TRAVEL BERT SOMMER
NOTE: I BELIEVE BERT PLAYED THIS SONG IN OPEN D TUNING. THIS TAB IS IN STANDARD TUNING.
INTRO: G
VERSE: G Here it is, it's summertime Em Still I haven't felt my sign FC And the years are over too G since I'm gone
G And my daddy wonders why Em How I look and make him proud FC But I'll carry on his name GF when he dies
CHORUS: EmBm Though the years have had their pain AmG I'll continue on again FCG 'Til I find a road that I can travel BmAmGCG 'Til I Find my peace, of mind
VERSE: G Papa says to straighten out Em Look at what my life's about FC Try to use the head that God G once gave you
G And he says I'll be content Em If I take the road he went FC But I'll never blame him for GF what I do
CHORUS: EmBm Livin' in a house that's high AmG It makes you feel your hands are tied FC I only wish I knew when I GBm could make and break it AmGCG Finally get inside
BREAK: C Mr. Tunny's seconal D Surely you will make me fall AmBBmEEEEEE But you drive me into takin' your hand
VERSE: G On the road that I've been bound Em It seems it's time I settled down FCG I gotta stop relying on tomorrow
G And all I wanna do is sleep Em Every day is like a week FC I gotta find some kind of rules GF to follow
VERSE/OUTRO: G And my daddy wonders why Em How I look and make him cry FC But I'll carry on his name GGGFC when he dies
