Intro:
[A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [E] [A] (2X)
Verse 1:
[A] [D] [A]
I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round
[D] [A] [E] [A]
Hangin' up my highway shoes
[A] [D] [A]
Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound
[D] [A] [E] [A]
And they carry me away from you
[E] [D] [A]
Every night I lay my body down
[D] [A] [D] [A] [E]
My empty arms just leave me blue
[A] [D][A]
So I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
[D] [A] [E] [A]
And find my way back home to you
Instrumental Bridge:
[A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [E] [A]
Verse 2:
[A] [D] [A]
I have always been the travelin' kind
[D] [A] [E] [A]
A million miles behind me now
[A] [D] [A]
I kept on followin' that thin white line
[D] [A] [E] [A]
But now I want to turn around
[E] [D] [A]
I only lived to hear that highway sound
[D] [A] [D] [A] [E]
High and lonesome - low and blue
[A] [D][A]
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
[D] [A] [E] [A]
And find my way back home to you
Instrumental Bridge 2:

Verse 3:
[A] [D] [A]
So say goodbye to all my ramblin' pals
[D] [A] [E] [A]
Ol' Highway Dave and Southside Sue
[A] [D] [A]
I don't believe they'll miss me anyhow
[D] [A] [E] [A]
What's one less wayward soul or two
[E] [D] [A]
Down the road they'll pass the jug around
[D] [A] [D] [A][E]
And they'll sing them lonesome highway blues
[A] [D][A]
But me I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin'
'round
[D] [A] [E] [A]
And find my way back home to you
