_ _ _ [C] And walking [Cm] along the railroad tracks, _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] on some places [Bb] no going back. _
_ _ Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge. _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge. _
Silver _ _ lines stretching around the corner.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Eb] Welcome to the new [Bb] world all up. _
_ _ Families sleeping in their cars in the _ southwest. _ _ _ _
[Cm] No home, no job, no peace, no rest. _
_ _ [Ab] Well, a highway is a live of night.
_ _ _ [Bb] But nobody's kidding nobody about the [Cm] red ghost.
[C] _ _ [Bb] I'm sitting down here in the campfire light, _ _ _ _ _ searching [Cm] for the ghost of Tom Joe. _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
He pulls a prayer book out of a sleeping [C] bag.
_ _ _ _ Preacher [Eb] lights up a bud and [Bb] takes a drag.
_ Waiting for when the [F] last shall be first and the first shall be last.
_ _ _ _ [Cm] In a cardboard box beneath the _ underpass, [C] _ _
you got a one-way ticket to the promised land.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] You got a hole in your belly and a gun [Bb] in your hand. _ _
_ _ Sleeping on a pillar of solid rock, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
bathing in the [Gm] city [Cm] aqueduct.
Well, _ _ _ [Ab] a highway is a live of night.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] But where [Bb] it's headed, everybody [Cm] knows. _ _
_ [Bb] I'm sitting down here in the campfire light, _ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
waiting on the ghost of Tom Joe. _

_ _ _ Now Tom said, _ _ _ _ _ Mom, _ _ _ wherever there's a cop beating a guy, _ _ _ _ [Eb] wherever a hungry and born [Bb] baby _ cries, _ _ where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air, _ _ _ _ _ _ look [Cm] for me, [F] Mom, I'll be [Cm] there. _ _
_ Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand, _ _ or [Eb] a decent job or a [Bb] helping hand, _ _ _ wherever somebody's struggling to be free, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] look in their eyes, [Gm] Mom, you'll [Cm] see me. _ _ _
_ [Ab] Well, a highway is a [Eb] live of night.
_ _ _ _ But nobody's kidding [Bb] nobody about the [Cm] red _ ghost. _
_ [Bb] I'm sitting down here in the campfire light, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
with the ghost [F] of old [Cm] Tom Joe. _ _
