The Refreshments - Highways & Byways chords
Start Jamming...
All [A] the bright lights in Memphis were a-shinin'
As we rode into town one [E] rainy night
We stopped for a bite at the Blues Cafe
But we soon had to be [A] on our way
We had a show down the road in Arkansas
Cause down there they thought I was some kind [D] of star
They had us playin' all night [A] long
And they danced to every [E] song
Some nights the boss man played [A] my part
My whole [D] life's been highways [A] and byways
Broken [D] dreams, the designated [E]
skyways
[D] Life's been flashing [A] by, one day I'll know I'll [E] die
Somewhere on [A] highways and byways
I've been up and down these roads since my teens
From Milwaukee down to [E] New Orleans
And oh my God, it's this guitar in my hand
My 74 Chevy [A] and my band
If we only had a hit to take us higher
Wish I'd done a song to set the [D] world on fire
Now we're goin' round the same old [A] places
Seein' the same old [E] faces
Drownin' this land with [A] one-eyed tires
My whole [D] life's been [A] highways and byways
Broken dreams, the [D] [E] designated skyways
[D] Life's been flashing [A] by, one day I'll know [E] I'll die
Somewhere on [A] highways and byways
[E] Somewhere on highways and [A] byways
Now
[E]
[A]
[G] I'm callin' up my daughter just to see
If she wants to come hear the [D] boys and me
Cause tonight we're playin' in our hometown
I'd love it if she'd like [G] to come down
But she tells me she just don't dig our sound
She hates me for never [C] being around
So tonight just ain't no good [G] time
And she doesn't have a [D] dime
I say, you know where [G] I'll be found
[E] [A] My whole [D] life's been [A] highways and byways
Broken [D] dreams, the [E] designated skyways
[D] Life's been flashing [A] by, one day I'll know I'll [E] die
Somewhere on [A] highways and byways
[E] Somewhere on highways [A] and byways
[A]
