[G] [D] [E] Well these Highway 40 [F#m] Blues
[B] I've walked hold of both [E] my shoes

And [B] I'd love to see the light [E] at home
Wasting time and money [A] too

[B] [C#m] But in the end I had [F#] to lose
Lord above paid [B] my dues
Got the Highway [E] 40 Blue
[D] [E] A highway car when [F#m] I was young
[B] Told me lots of [E] things to come
Fame and fortune [F#m] lies ahead
