[Bm] [A] [F#m]
[D] [G]
[D] [A]
[D] Gulf Coast Highway, [G] he worked [D] the rails, he worked the rice fields with their cool [G] dark wells.
He worked [Bm] the oil rigs [A] in the Gulf of [D] Mexico, the only [G] thing we've [D] ever owned is a [A] soul
house here [D] by the road.
And when [Bm] he dies he says [A] he'll catch some [D] blackbird's wing and [G] we'll fly away [D] to heaven,
come [A] some sweet [D] lupine spring.
She walked through springtime when [G] I [D] was home, [G] [D] the days were sweet, our nights were [G] warm.
The seasons [Bm] changed, the jobs would [A] come, the flowers [D] fade and this old [G] house felt so
[D] alone when the work [A] took me [D] away.
And [Bm] when she dies she says [A] she'll catch some [D] blackbird's wing and she will [G] fly away to
[D] heaven, come some [A] sweet lupine [D] spring.
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [B]
[E] [A]
Highway [D] night, [G] the [D] jobs are gone, we tend our garden, we set [G] the sun.
This is [B] the only place [C#m] on earth [A] where the rhombids [D] grow and once [G] a year they come and
[D] go, a soul [A] house here by [D] the road.
And when we [Bm] die we'll say [A] we'll catch some [D] blackbird's wing and we'll [G] fly away to [D] heaven,
come some [A] sweet lupine [D] spring.
Yes when [Bm] we die we'll say [A] we'll catch some [D] blackbird's wing and we will [G] fly away [Bm] together,
come [A] some sweet lupine [D] spring.
