Tuning: E A D G B E 🎸 Intro: Bm A G | G D/F# D | G D/F# A | x2 G D/F# A | 🎸 Verse 1: G Life's like a road that you travel on D When there's one day here and the next day gone A Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand Sometimes you turn your head to the wind G There's a world outside every darkened door D Where blues won't haunt you anymore A Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore Bm We won't hesitate A Break down the garden's gate G Em There's not much time left today 🎸 Chorus: Bm A G Life is a highway G D/F# D G D/F# A G D/F# A I wanna ride it all night long Bm A G If you're going my way G D/F# D G D/F# A G D/F# A I wanna drive it all night long 🎸 Verse 2: G Through all these cities and all these towns D It's in my blood and it's all around A I love you now like I loved you then This is the road and these are the hands G From Mozambique to those Memphis nights D The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights A Knock me down back up again You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man Bm There's no load I can't hold A Road so rough this I know G I'll be there when the light comes in Em Just tell 'em we're survivors 🎸 Chorus: (x2) Bm A G Life is a highway G D/F# D G D/F# A G D/F# A I wanna ride it all night long Bm A G If you're going my way G D/F# D G D/F# A G D/F# A I wanna drive it all night long Em G Bm A There was a distance between you and I Em G Bm A A misunderstanding once, but now we look in the eye [Solo] Bm There's no load I can't hold A Road so rough this I know G I'll be there when the light comes in Em Just tell 'em we're survivors N.C. Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long 🎸 Chorus: (x2) Bm A G Life is a highway G D/F# D G D/F# A G D/F# A I wanna ride it all night long Bm A G If you're going my way G D/F# D G D/F# A G D/F# A I wanna drive it all night long
