Lyrics

The (Cm)long and wind ing road

that leads

(Eb7)to your door

will (Gm7)nev er dis ap (Cm)pear,

I’ve seen that (Bb9)road be fore.

It (Gm7)al ways leads me here,

lead me (Bb9)to your

door.

The (Cm)wild and wind y night

that the rain

(Eb7)washed a way,

has (Gm7)left a pool of tears

cry ing (Bb9)for the day.

Why (Gm7)leave me stand (Cm9)ing here,

let me (Bb9)know

the way.

(Eb)Ma ny times I’ve (Ab)been a lone and (Eb)ma ny times I’ve cried,

(Eb)An y way you’ve al ways known the (Eb)ma ny ways I’ve tried.

But (Cm)still they lead me back

to

long

(Eb7)wind ing road,

you

me wait ing here

a long, long (Bb9)time a go.

Don’t (Gm7)keep

lead (Bb9)to

your door.

(Eb)Ma ny times I’ve (Ab)been a lone and (Eb)ma ny times I’ve cried,

(Eb)An y way you’ve al ways known the (Eb)ma ny ways I’ve tried.

But

But lead me to

your door.

About “The Long And Winding Road”

Can I sing "The Long And Winding Road" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "The Long And Winding Road" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Ab, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "The Long And Winding Road" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
