King Of The Highway chords

Capo 5th fret

[G]There's a coal minin' town

Where the sun never sleeps
[Em]It's cold in Alaska

Her tears freeze to her cheeks
[C]
And there's an old man that loves her
[G]
He's comin' home, life or death.

[G]Two months drug by

Since the day he first left
[Em]He can still hear goodbye

He can still see her breath
In that cra[C]cked sideview mirror
[G]
That he swore he'd fix last time

[G]Thirty miles from home

Dogs bark and red lights flash
[Em]I love Marie, still tattooed on the dash
Of that jack[C]knifed freightliner,
[G]
Phone rings, 2 AM

[CHORUS]

[D] [C] [G]
Hail to you, you're the king of the highway now x 2

[G]That frozen hell it took him

And he ain't coming back
[Em]But her memory's still thick

Like this ice that never cracks
[C]
It's damn cold in Alaska
[G]
And that sun never sleeps

[G]She's got his old CB box

She yells - "breaker, breaker 10"
[Em]Won't you honk if you see the ghost of that truck drivin' man
[C] [G]
And please tell him that I love him, and tell him this

[CHORUS]
