Tuning: Standard

[INTRO]
| C | % | % | % |

[VERSE]
C | C7 | % |
It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone
F | C7 | % |
And it's a mean old world when you got no one to call your own
And you [E]pass through towns too small to even have a [Am]name, oh [F]yes
But you gotta [C]keep on goin', [Am]on that road to nowhere
Gotta [C]keep on goin', though [Am]there's no one to care
[C] [F] | [C] | [C7] |
Just keep mo-ovin' down the line

[VERSE]
C | C7 | % |
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
F | C7 | % |
And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried
My [E]heart's so heavy it's a low-down dirty [Am]shame oh [F]yes
But you gotta [C]keep on goin', [Am]on that road to nowhere
Gotta [C]keep on goin', though [Am]there's no one to care
[C] [F] | [C] | [C7] |
Just keep mo-ovin' down the line

[MIDDLE 8]
I got a [F]rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
And the [C]cool grass for my bed
My [F]drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me, buddy
That I [D7]wouldn't be better off [G]dead

[VERSE]
C | C7 | % |
It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time
F | C7 | % |
And if she don't come and get me, well, I'm gonna lose my mind
So, if you [E]read about me tell her she's the one to [Am]blame, oh[F] yes
You gotta [C]keep on goin', [Am]on that road to nowhere
Gotta [C]keep on goin', though [Am]there's no one to care
Just keep [C]mo-[F]ovin' down the [C]line

[OUTRO]
[F] Movin’ down the [C]line
[F] Movin’ down the [C]line
(repeat and fade)
