Chords with lyrics

From 'The Book Of Moses' CD I picked up some place
    Sounds good played Banjo style, or, you know,.... on a banjo

                          Highway Cafe   * CAPO 1st FRET *

                Chord diagramD MajorD
  Well she was only a waitress in a highway cafe
                                 Chord diagramA augmentedA
  Poured coffee from dusk until dawn
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
  But she's heartbroken twenty-four hours a day
                                      Chord diagramD MajorD
  For she longed for a trucker who'd gone

            Chord diagramD MajorD                                                           Chord diagramA augmentedA
  Will you make it a corned beef on rye, He'd sing with a gleam in his eye
           Chord diagramA augmentedA                                Chord diagramG+G
  Oh the headlights were burnin',  And the big wheels were turnin'
          Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA augmentedA          Chord diagramD MajorD
  Her sweetheart would come by and by

        Chord diagramD MajorD
  He'd park his great semi off route 64
                                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
  She'd rush with a sweet little sigh
          Chord diagramA augmentedA
  For at half past eleven, He'd walk in the door
                              Chord diagramD MajorD
  And order a corned beef on rye

            Chord diagramD MajorD                                                          Chord diagramA augmentedA
  Will you make it a corned beef on rye, He'd sing with a gleam in her eye
            Chord diagramA augmentedA                          Chord diagramG+G
  Oh the jukebox was blarin'  An' her soft eyes were starin'
            Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramA augmentedA          Chord diagramD MajorD
  And the corned beef would come by and by

             Chord diagramD MajorD
  All the drivers remember that night so they say
                                    Chord diagramA augmentedA
  She'd said her farewells to them all
                Chord diagramA augmentedA
  Ah when the hands on the clock reached a quarter past twelve
                                   Chord diagramD MajorD
  Her suitcase still stood in the hall


(Spoken)   Chord diagramD MajorD
  And the hours they passed by, Even as the trucks passed by on the highway
                                                 Chord diagramA augmentedA
  And two grim highway patrolmen came into the place

  And they shook the rain from their hats

  And as the poor girl brought 'em their coffee
                                       Chord diagramD MajorD
  These are the words that that they said
         Chord diagramD MajorD
  'Hey Curley, you see that old diesel flattened out like your
                                              Chord diagramA augmentedA
  damned nose up by the predicament tonight '
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
  'Hell, He jack-knifed that son of a bitch slicker 'n' owl shit'
                                           Chord diagramD MajorD
  'I'll have a chilli dog over here baby'
                      Chord diagramD MajorD
  'Hell, you don't suppose he had him a little hog
                                            Chord diagramA augmentedA
  Way on down the line someplace, Do ya '
                              Chord diagramA augmentedA
  'Hey now Curley, Don't you know them damn truckers
                                                                 Chord diagramD MajorD
  They got a little filly in every cafe from here to Los Cruces' Ha-ha-ha-ha

            Chord diagramD MajorD
  Now there is a small truck-stop off route 64
                              Chord diagramA augmentedA
  If you happen to be passin' by
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
  There's a trucker that never stops in anymore
                                           Chord diagramD MajorD
  There's a waitress that wished she knew why

      Chord diagramD MajorD                                                           Chord diagramA augmentedA
  Oh make it a corned beef on rye, She'd sing with a tear in her eye
           Chord diagramA augmentedA                              Chord diagramG+G
  And her dark eyes are glistenin' And someone is listenin'
            Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramA augmentedA           Chord diagramD MajorD
