[D] [G]
[D]
[G] Up and down [D] the long old highway, [A] up and [D] down I go,
[G] Trying to keep the [D] peace and the speeders down,
[G] Well that's how I make [Dm] my dough, [D] [G] I'm working for the highway [D] patrol.
Well it's work time again, I [G] hate to see it come,
[D] But every night at seven it [A] arrives,
I [D] have to check out my car [G] and put on my gun,
And [D] go out and [A] try to [D] save some lives.
There's all kind of people [G] driving the highway,
[D] The good and the bad [A] are found,
[D] And you never ever know [G] just what to expect,
[D] When you chase a speeding car down,
[F] Still I [G] go up and down [D] the long old [A] highway,
Up and down [D] I go,
[G] I'm trying to keep the peace [D] and the speeders down,
[G] Well that's how I make my [D] dough, [G] I'm working for the highway [D] patrol.

[D] [A]
[D] [G]
[D]
Well there's con men, [G] convicts and wise guys,
[D] They think they know it [F#m] all,
And [D] they just as soon pull out [G] a pistol,
And say, [D] okay [A] copper get [D] lost,
Well it's a rugged old life that [G] we're living,
[D] As we live it from day [A] to day,
But it's [D] the kind of life I'm [G] loving the best,
I [D] wouldn't have it any other way.
So [A#m] [G] I go up and down [D] the long old highway,
[A] Up and down [D] I go,
[G] I'm trying to keep the peace and [D] the speeders down,
Well [G] that's how I make my [D] dough,
[G] I'm working for the highway [D] patrol.
[G] Yeah, working for the highway [D] patrol,
I'm just [G] working for the highway [D] patrol.
