Chords for Patty Griffin ft. Robert Plant - Highway Song (2013)

I'm going to line up for this next song.
_ Are you back there?
_ He's gone on!
_ [N] Woo! _ _
_ I know how it's going to go. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've lost the words.
[B] I can't say anything.
I think I said it all in my head.
_ Abuse.
[E] _ [D#] _
The last sentence.
Nothing [B] there then. _ _ _ _
[E] Where were we?
We did this song, we thought, really a few nights ago, so we're going to do a different one.
Ah, but how did it happen?
Huh?
_ [B] No, no, I'm not_
How did it happen?
I mean, uh_
[B] Oh, you want to hear the story?
We're travelling now.
We were travelling on our way to meet in the West of the Vanity Fair in [F#] San Diego and, uh_
_ [B] Paddy got this idea for a song which is really_
I'm very, very interested in that, so_
In my usual way, I barged in and said, I can help you [Em] with this.
No, no, no, this [E] is the other song.
Oh, yeah?
_ [F#] _ And then, uh_
Little lady Ron_
We were at a sound check in Milwaukee.
And [B] I was playing the guitar, playing to my guitar.
I'm going to tell you about the High Roof Draw.
Oh, [D#] yeah, OK. _
_ So we were working on the song at the sound [D] check while we were driving along.
[C#] And I was speeding, [N] strangely enough. _
I guess outside of the Mormon Salt Lake City.
And the blue light comes on and they pull [D#] us over and, uh_
Paddy's been playing the guitar in the front of the car, the cramped big white seat.
The acoustics there, the cots behind, the big round glasses.
And I said, you'd better [B] put a coat over that guitar,
because it's not really law to be driving along playing an [N] acoustic in front of a car doing 85 miles an hour.
So the cot came to the window [E] and, um_
kept on the window, not screen.
And said, _ papers.
So I reached for the glove box, pulled [B] the papers out,
[Am] passed them over to Paddy and then came into him and he [E] said,
this is a prescription for painkillers.
LAUGHTER
_ [E] He said, don't take one, [Em] Greg.
[B] Yeah, oh, no, shit.
_ [B] _ Anyway, [F#] he thought it was very funny and let us off.
And I thought [E] we wrote that song just before this.
_ [C#] [F#] LAUGHTER There's _ [B] another_
LAUGHTER
_ [F#] That could be it.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ Stars fall [F#] out [B] of the sky, my [F#] love _
[B] _ One by one
_ [F#] _ _
[B] As years _ [F#] go by _
[B] And one _ [F#] by one
[B] All the _ cruelest in [F#] the play _
_ [B] Really is where my [F#] pain
I fly [E] away
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _
I don't [B] wait for that return _
I don't wait for that [E] [B] return _
_ Cross the [F#] mountain _
[G#m] Go [B] _ on [F#] and fly
[B] Each is _ fine [F#] too _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] In the _ dust [F#] of the land
[B] _ _ _ I'll have a [F#] brief song
[B] That will spread [F#] your wings
[B] And fly away
_ _ [F#] I _ [B] don't wait for that return
I will wait for your [E] [B] return _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
I will wait for your return
I will wait for your return
_ _ _ _ CHEERING I'm [N] _ _ _ going. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
