[E] [F#m] [E] [B]
[E] [D] [E]
Well these Highway [A] 40 blues [B]
I've walked holding both [E] my shoes
Counted the days since [F#m] I've been gone [B] And I'd love to see the [E] lights at home
Waste of time and [A] money too [B]
Squandered youth in [E] search of truth
[B] [C#m]
But in the end I [F#] had to lose The Florida Bub who paid [B] my dues
Got Highway [E] 40 blues [G] [F#m] [E] The highway car when [F#m] I was young
[B]
Told me lies of [E] things to come Fame and fortune [F#m] lies ahead
[B]
Swapped the billboard [E] light and said Shattered dreams my [A] mind is numb
[B]
My money's gone stick [E] out my [B] thumb [C#m]
My eyes are filled with [F#] bitter tears
Lord I ain't [B] been home in years Got Highway [E] 40 [G] blues

Met pretty girls I [F#m] have to say [B] But none of them could make [E] me stay
Well I've played the music [A] halls and bars [B]
Had fancy clothes and big [E] fine cars

Things a country boy [F#] can't use Dixieland sure [B] miss you
