It was twenty years ago,[G] I was about fourteen years old,
When I f[D]irst heard that Wolfman's howl.
He sne[G]aked me through the door, there was whisky on the floor,
And the f[D]uzz they were on the prowl
It se[Bb7]ems so long a[A7]go,
I'm l[G7]iving[G#7] on the [A7]Highway [D]now
He's a g[G]iant of a man, He always understands
The v[D]ery best notes to use
His h[G]and make two of mine, his heart beat right on time
He t[D]aught me how to sing the blues
[Bb7]He's the reason why[A7] I choose to [G7]live[G#7] on t[A7]he highway now[D][G7]
SOLO: (play twice)

I pl[G]ayed the blues with Walter, and Muddy pulled me through
I k[D]now a Jimmy Rogers song or two
But there's [G]one thing I know, no matter where I go
I can d[D]o a little howling too
That's w[Bb7]hy I sing these [A7]blues, I'm l[G7]ivi[G#7]ng on t[A7]he highway now[D]
The y[G]ears have come and gone but the blues still go on
I o[D]nly sing my songs for fun
If you a[G]sk me to, I'll do a song for you,
'Cause the w[D]omen like to see me come
[Bb7]Me and my gui[A7]tar, my band, we're l[G7]iving [G#7]on t[A7]he highway now[D]
