[N]
[F#m] [Bm]
[F#m]
[Bm] We made a walk along the railroad track
[D] Going someplace and there's no [A] going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Hot [Bm] soup on the campfire under the bridge
Shelter lines stretching round the corner
Oh, [D] welcome to the [A] new world, border
Family sleeping in the cars in the southwest
No [B] home, no job, no peace, no rest
[G] Highway into light tonight
[D] Nobody's kidding nobody about [B] where he was born
[A] Sitting down here in the campfire light
[Bm] Waiting on the ghost of Thompson
He takes a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
[D] Fragile lights up a bird and [A] takes a try
He waits for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
Needs [Bm] a cardboard box in the underpass
If not a one-way ticket to the promised land
You've [D] got a hole in your belly and a [A] gun in your hand
He's sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in [Bm] city Ecuador
Oh, the [G] highway into light tonight
[A] Borderlands heavy and everybody [Bm]
lost
[A] Sitting down here in the campfire light
[Bm]
Waiting on the ghost of Thompson
[B] [Bm]
[F#m] Whenever [Em] there's a cop [G] beating a guy
Whenever [Em] a hungry newborn [F#m] baby cries
[A] When there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Just [Bm] look for me [G] and I'll be there
Wherever [Bm] there's somebody waiting for a place to stand
Oh, [D] a decent job or a helping [A] hand
Wherever there's somebody struggling to be free
Just look [Bm] in their eyes and you'll see me
Oh, [G] the highway into light tonight
Nobody [D] is kidding, nobody ever will, [Bm] it goes
[A] Sitting down here in the campfire light
[Bm] Waiting on the ghost of Thompson
[G] Highway into light tonight
Nobody is kidding, [A] nobody ever will, it [Bm] goes
[A] Sitting down here in the campfire light
With [Bm] the ghost of Thompson
[B] [Bm]
