Lyrics:

Fm

Yeah! His guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his cadillac

Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind

ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

C#7#9

He left home when he was seventeen

The rest of the world he was gonna see

Fm

And everybody knows the boss

a rollin' stone gathers no moss

G#

Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp

A#

But it goes a little deeper than that

Fm

He's a highway chile

Highway Chile

Fm

Some people say he had a girl back home

who messed around and did her baby wrong

They tell it kinda hurt him bad

Kinda made him feel pretty sad

I couldn't say what went through his mind

Anyway he left the world behind

Everybody knows the same old story

in love or war you can lose your glory

G#

Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp

A#

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on brother

C#7#9

His old guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his cadillac

Fm

Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind

ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

G#

Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp

A#

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on brother

Don't let no one stop you

Highway Child
