[E] [D] [A] [B]
[E] Picking [B] up the pieces [G#] of my sweet [C#m] shattered [B] dream
[A] I wonder how [E] the old folks [B] are tonight
Her [E] name was [B] Ann and I'll be damned [G#] if I recall [C#m] her face
[A] She left me [B] not knowing what [E] to do
[D] Carefree highway, [A] let [B] me slip away [E] on you
[D] Carefree highway, [A] do you [B] see that it is
[C#m] The morning after [B] blues [A] from my head [E] down to my [F#] shoes

[B] [E] Turning [B] back the pages [G#] to the times I [C#m] loved [B] best
[A] I wonder if [E] she'll ever do [B] the same
[E] Now the thing that I [B] call living is [G#] just being [C#m] satisfied
[A] With knowing I [B] got no one left [E] to blame
[D] Carefree highway, [A] I got [B] to see you my [E] old flame

[A] [B] [E] [D]
[A] [B] [E] Searching [B] through the fragments [G#] of my dream [C#m] shattered [B] sleep
[A] I wonder if the [E] years have closed her mind
[B] I [E] guess it [B] must be wonderlust [G#] or time to [C#m] get free
[A] From the good old [B] faithful feeling we [E] once knew
[D] Carefree highway, [A] let [B] me slip away [E] on you
