[D] [A]
[F#m] [A]
[D] [A]
Well mama, it's a sign before [A] you leave Something I want [F#m] you to do
[A] Promise me [D] that you won't [A] go wrong As you travel [E] down Highway [A] 52
I'm sitting on the banks of the Ohio River Sunrise kissing [F#m] the dew
[A] Hot towels run [D] and the [A] steamboats roll I'm sitting there on Highway 52
I love the hills [D] of old [A] West Virginia Kentucky ain't [F#m] it so blue
My road map's out, my shoes will make the walk I'll be walking [E] down Highway [A] 52
[D] [A]
[F#m]
[D] [A]
From the old Queen City [D] to New [A] Boston town I know [F#m] I'm hanging rock [A]
every stop
I played every state while traveling there [E] on Highway [A] 52
So tell me my love, [D] oh tell [A] me my darlin' What are you [F#m] gonna do
[A] If you don't love me more than I care about I'll be hanging on [E] down Highway [A] 52
I love the hills [D] of old [A] West Virginia Kentucky ain't [F#m] it so blue
[A]
My road map's out, my shoes will make the walk I'll be walking [E] down Highway [A] 52
Yeah

when it comes time [D] for me [A] to go I'll be hanging my [F#m] warm shoes
For the last old ride [D] in that big [A] black car As it hauled me [E] down Highway [A]
52
I love the hills [D] of old [A] West Virginia Kentucky ain't [F#m] it so blue
[A] My road map's out, [D] my shoes will [A] make the walk I'll be walking [E] down Highway [A] 52
I'll be walking down Highway 52
