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

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

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
