[Bm] And walking along the railroad tracks
[D] And going some [Bm] places, no [A] going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Hot soup [Bm] on a [E] campfire under [Bm] the bridge
Shelter lines stretching round the corner
[D] Welcome to the [Bm] New [A] World Order
Families sleeping in their cars in the southwest
No [Bm] home, no job, [A] no [B] peace, no rest
[G] The highway is alive tonight
Where [D] it's headed, [A] everybody [Bm]
knows
[A] Sitting down here in the campfire light
[Bm] Waiting [A] on the ghost of [Bm] Tom Joe
Now Tom said, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Wherever [D] hungry and you're born, [A] baby, you cry
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
[Bm] Look for me, [A] Tom, I'll [Bm] be there
If there's someone fighting for a place to stand
[D] Or a decent job or a [A] helping hand
If there's somebody struggling to be free
[Bm] Look for me, [A] Ma, [Bm] you'll see me
