HIGHWAY OF SORROW (Bill Monore, Pete Pyle)

from "True Life Blues, The Songs Of Bill Monroe" (Sugar Hill, SHCD-2209)

CAPO 4

   G                                C                    G

I once had a darling, was kind, true and sweet.

G                                                         D

Life was so bright and gay, everything to please.

   G                          C                 G

I fell for another, who led my life astray.

               G                    D                 G  

And now I live in sorrow, ?till my dying day

Chorus:

            G                               C              G  

Down a Highway of Sorrow, I?m traveling along.

       G                                                       D

I?ve lost all my true friends, I?ve lost a happy home.

       G                                   C                   G

I?m headed for destruction, I?m on the wrong track.

             G                                     D              G

Down a Highway of Sorrow, there?s no turning back.

I went back to my darling, and I got down on my knees.

I begged here with tears and eyes, to give my poor heart ease.

But she was hurt so deeply, she could not forgive.

Now I live in sorrow, as long as I live

(Chorus)
