B5        B5        F#5               E5                 B5
   Well me and my friend we walked through the split
         B5        F#5          E5          F#5
  Then I headed on home and he headed out bound
           B5        A5
  I didn't listen to him
              B5           G5
  But you can take it from Jim

[chorus] 
        D5    G5
  It's a highway
        D5    G5
  It's a highway 
        D5    B5          G5
  It's a highway lowdown

[verse]
B5          G5                              B5   E5  B5  E5
  If you're tired why don't you just go to sleep
B5              G5                                         B5     E5 B5 E5
  And if you're wired I'll be your brother and you can be my keep
B5              G5                         E5                G5
  And all these fires, Jim , they just keep following you around

[chorus]
        D5    G5
  It's a highway
        D5    G5
  It's a highway 
        D5    B5          G5
  It's a highway lowdown

[verse]
B5            G5                                     B5         E5 B5 E5
  You can get found if you don't think like my good friend James
B5                    G5 
  He wasn't even underground
                                   B5         E5 B5 E5
  I think he was playing all those faster gigs
B5                     G5
  I bet you can't slow down
              E5                   G5           
  You'll be a running man while you pray

[chorus]
        B5   A5
  It's a highway
        B5   A5
  It's a highway
        B5   A5   A5
  It's a highway

[break]
       B5        F#5         E5               B5
  Some call it a road, some call it a street
       B5           F#5
  Well say what you will
           E5            F#5
  It leads right out of town
       B5       A5
  To a desolate land
          B5            G5
  It will mess up yours plans

[chorus]
        D5    G5
  It's a highway
        D5    G5
  It's a highway
        D5    B5         G5
  It's a highway lowdown

        D5    G5
  It's a highway
        D5    G5
  It's a highway
        D5    B5          G5   B5  E5  B5
  It's a highway lowdown
