_ _ _ A _ _ privilege to play with such great musicians in such a wonderful _ _ [D#] hall.
[B] This is something I've [E] dreamed of.

[G] _ [D] _ [E] _ This highway [F#m] 40 blues, _ [B] _ I've walked toward [E] both my _ shoes.
Counted the days [F#m] since I've been gone, _ [B] _ and I'd love to see the [E] lights at home.
_ _ Wasted time and [A] money too, _ [B] _ squandered youth in [E] search of [B] truth.
_ [C#m] But in the end I [F#] had to lose, Lord, I'm a [B] pain in the ass.
Got the highway [E] 40 [G] blues, [A] _ [E] the highway calmed when [F#m] I was young.
_ [B] _ Told me lies and [E] things to come, _ _ fame and fortune [F#m] lies ahead.
_ _ [B] _ Swamped the billboard, [E] lies are safe.
_ _ 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 been [B] home in years.
Got the highway [E] 40 blues.

[G] _ [A] _ [E] _ I've rambled [F#m] all around, _ _ [B] like a rolling stone from [E] town to town.
_ Met pretty girls I [F#m] have to say, _ _ [B] but only one has made [E] me stay.
_ _ I've played the music [A] halls and bars, _ [B] had fancy clothes and big [E] fine _
[B] cars.
[C#m] _ Fangs of country boy [F#] can't use, Dixieland I sure [B] miss you.
Got the highway [E] 40 blues.
