Highway 40 Blues - Ricky Scaggs

F#m B

Well these Highway 40 Blues

E

I've walked holes in both my shoes

F#m B

counted the days since I've been gone

E

and I'd love to see the lights of home

A B

Wasted time and money too

E B C#m

squandered youth in search of truth

F#

but in the end I had to lose

B

Lord above me paid my dues

E E D A D (slide up to) E

got the Highway 40 Blues

The highway called when I was young

told me lies of things to come

fame and fortune lies ahead

it's what the billboard light had said

Shattered dreams, my mind is numb

my money's gone, stick out my thumb

my eyes are filled with bitter tears

Lord I ain't be home in years

Got the Highway 40 Blues

Solos:

mandolin

banjo

guitar

steel

Ya know, I've rambled all around

like a rolling stone from town to town

met pretty girls I have to say

but none of them could make me stay

well, I've played the music halls and farm

had fancy clothes and big fine cars

things a country boy can't use

Dixie Land, I sure miss you

Got the Highway 40 Blues
