🎸 Verse:
            C
Gulf Coast Highway
    F          C
He worked the rails

He worked the rice fields
                  F
With their cool, dark wells

              Am               G          C
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
          F               C
The only thing he's ever owned
             G                 C
Is this old house here by the road

🎸 Chorus:
             Am
And when he dies
               G                      C
He says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
         F           C
He will fly away to Heaven
           G                  C     C    C
Come some sweet, blue bonnet spring


🎸 Verse:
                    C
She walked through springtime
     F       C
Whеn he was home

The days werе sweet
                 F
The nights were warm

             Am                     G                 C
The seasons change, the jobs would come, the flowers fade
              F              C
And this old house felt so alone
          G             C
When the work took me away


🎸 Chorus:
              Am
And when she dies
                 G                      C
She says she'll catch some blackbird's wing
          F           C
She will fly away to Heaven
           G                  C
Come some sweet, blue bonnet spring

🎸 Verse:
        C
Highway 90
 F        C
Jobs are gone

They tend their garden
              F
They set the sun

            Am             G                  C
This is the only place on Earth blue bonnets grow
        F                 C
Once a year they come and go
          G                 C
This old house here by the road


🎸 Chorus:
              Am
And when they die
                  G                      C
They say they'll catch some blackbird's wing
           F           C
They will fly away to Heaven
      G                  C
Some sweet, blue bonnet spring

             Am
Yes, when we die we say
       G                      C
We'll catch some blackbird's wing
         F          Am
We will fly away together
      G                 C     C
Some sweet blue bonnet spring
