[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
[E] Her 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 to [E] do
[D] Carefree highway, [A] let [B] me slip away [E] on you
[D] Carefree highway, [A] you [B] seem better days
[C#m] From morning after [B] blue, [A] from my head [E] down to my [F#] shoes
[E]
[D] Carefree highway, [A] let [B] me slip away, slip away [E] on you
[D] [A]
[B] [E] [D] [A]
[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 the [B] same
Now [E] the thing that I [B] call living is [G#] just being [C#m] satisfied
[A] With nowhere am I [B] gone, no one left [E] to blame
[D] Carefree highway, [A] I got [B] to see you, my [E] old flame
[D] Carefree [A] highway, you [B] seem better [C#m] days
From morning [B] after blue, [A] from my [E] head down to [F#] my shoes
[E] [D] Carefree highway, [A]
[B] let me slip away, slip [E] away on you
[D]
[A] [B] [E] [D]
[A] [B] [E] Searching [B] through the fragments [G#] of my dream, [C#m] shattered [B] sleep
[A] I wonder [E] if the years have closed your mind
[B] I [E] guess it [B] must be wonder, [G#] lost or trying 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
[D] Carefree [A] highway, you [B] seem better [C#m] days
From morning [B] after blue, [A] from my head [G#m] down to [B] my [F#] shoes
