Many A Long And Lonesome Highway chords by Rodney Crowell

Long & Lonesome Highway
Rodney Crowell



C                          G
Yes I had a woman love me,   I gave her what there was there of me.
F                             C
  And it was good as it could be.
                                   G
Then I heard a wild world calling,   I saw a lone star falling,
F                           C
  I caught a song, & set it free.


(Chorus)
                   Am              C               Am            G
        And many a long & lonesome highway, lies before us as we go,
                   F               C       Am           G                        C
        And in the end, I'll do it my way.     Look for me, where the four winds blow.

                            G
I believe in love & danger,   I believe the truth is stranger,
F                                 C
  I believe that fear is much too strong.
                                 G
I believe the best will find me,   when I leave the rest behind me,
F                          C
  Out on the highway on my own.



                   Am              C               Am            G
        And many a long & lonesome highway, lies before us as we go,
                   F               C       Am           G                        C
        And in the end, I'll do it my way.     Look for me, where the four winds blow.


(Bridge)
                        Am              Em             Am
              And every night's a new beginning.  Everyday, the world keeps spinning.
              Em                                G
                Sometimes, it's hard to stand upon my own.
              F                                      Am
                To the East, the moon comes showing.    To the West, there's dark clouds rolling.
              Em                         G
                I'm by myself, but not a-lone no more.



C                                     G
  My father on his death bed told me,   there's really nothing left to hold me,
F                             C
  Though I was there he died alone.
                                         G
It's going to take a fast train leaving,   to shake my world from grieving.
F                               C
  I'll guess I'll go until it's gone.



                   Am              C                Am            G
        And many a long & lonesome highway, lies be-fore us as we go,
                   F               C       Am           G                        C
        And in the end, I'll do it my way.     Look for me, where the four winds blow.
