The Band - Key To The Highway chords
Start Jamming...
[A] I got the key to the [E] highway
[D] Packed up and bound for
I'm [A] gonna leave here running
[E] Cause [D] walking moves too [A] slow
I'm [D] [E]
[A] going back down [E] to the border
Where [D] I'm much better known
[A] Cause you ain't done nothing [E] but
Drive [D] a drunk man away [A] from home
[D]
[E] [B] So I'm [A] gonna leave you running
I'm [E] gonna kiss baby
Just [D]
before I go
[A] Back out on the highway
[E] That's the [D] only place I [A] know
[D] [E] [A] And [Bm] when [A] the moon [E] creeps over the mountain
[D] I ain't
[A] gonna go highway
[E] Until the [D] break of [A] day
I [D] [E]
[A] got the key to [E] the highway
[G] [D] Packed up [A] and bound for
I'm gonna leave here [E] running
Cause [D] walking
[A] [D] [E]
moves [A] too slow
[E]
I'm [D] going back
[A] [E] down [D] to the border
Until the day
[A] [D] [E]
