When I saw that this song didn't have a tab I just had to make one. I did this by
ear so if any of the chords or lyrics are off please let me know!
"Highways" by Joe Purdy
On "This American"
Standard tuning
Capo 7
There is a little hammer on when you play the G. Just take your index finger and
hammer on the 4th string 2nd fret. Listen to the song to get the feel of it.
[G]Well the Highways, they take longer
[C]They don't always pay one
[G]And a fast train, it takes hard work
[C]And a big boat, sometimes take in water[G]
[Em]But an airplane, i[C]s just too easy
[G]And you see me, when[C] you see me
[D]And I get there, w[C]hen I do
[G]Tell all my friends, I[C]m coming soon (2x)
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/joe_purdy/highways_crd.html )
[G]Well the suns dust, had to keep dry
[C]And cold winds, blow just to get by
[G]And a dust bowl, silver dogs night
[C]Kareby arrows, sing under nights sky
[Em]Back in the saddle, Ridi[C]ng easy
[G]And you see me, when[C] you see me
[D]And I get there, w[C]hen I do
[G]Tell all my friends, I[C]m coming soon (2x)
[G]If you find me, under the station
[C]You won't need no, explanation
[Em]You knew me well, yeah[C] you knew me well
[G]Well the rich takes, wh[C]at the poor makes
[G]It's the grounds for, dead the earth shakes
[C]All the bones ache, on the cold days
[G]Tender hearts break, for the souls sake
[C]Keep your head down, take it easy
[G]And you see me, when[C] you see me
[D]And I get there, w[C]hen I do
[G]Tell all my friends, I[C]m coming soon
[G]Tell all my friends, I[C]m coming soon (Repeat until song fades out)
