Elvis Presley - (It's a) long lonely highway chords
Start Jamming...
It's a long lonely highway when you're traveling all alone
[C]
[F] And it's a mean old world when you've got no one to call [C] your own
[E] And you pass through towns too small to even [Am] have a name, [F] oh yeah
But you [C] gotta keep on going, [Am] on that road to nowhere
[C] Gotta keep on going, [Am] though there's no one to care, just [C] keep moving
[F]
[C]
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
And [F] it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on [C] being cried
[E] My heart's so heavy, it's a low down [Am] dirty shame, [F] oh yeah
But you [C] gotta keep on going, [Am] on that road to nowhere
[C] Gotta keep on going, [Am] though there's no one to care, just keep moving [F] down [C] the line
I got [F] a rock for my pillow, and a weeping willow, and [Am] a cool grass for my [Gm] bed
[Am] My drinking water's muddy, so don't you tell me buddy that [D] I wouldn't be better [G] off dead
[C] It's a long lonely highway getting longer all the time
And [F] if she don't come get me, well I'm gonna lose [C] my mind
So [E] if you read about me, tell her she's the one [Am] to blame, [F] oh yeah
But you [C] gotta keep on going, [Am] on that road to nowhere
[C] Gotta keep on going, [Am] though there's no one to care, just [C] keep moving [F] down [C] the line
[F] [C] [F]
