Verse 1
      C majorC
Travelin' now on the low highway, three thousand miles to the Frisco Bay

Across the rivers wild and the lonesome plains

Up the coast and down and back again

   A minorAm                  ------------0-----------|
I saw empty houses on a dead end street  -1-1-1/3--3----3-----1--|
                    C majorC -2-2-2/4--4------0-0h2--|
People linin' up for something to eat   -2-2-------------0-0h2--|
     A minorAm                -0-0-----------------0--|
And the ghost of America watching me    ------------------------|

Through the broken windows of the factories
    FF         C majorC       A minorAm        C majorC
Pickin' bones of a better day as I roll down the low highway

Interlude  (C*)  |   |   |   ||

Verse 2
      C majorC
Travelin' now on the low highway by the yellow moon and the light of day

Snow white crown of the mountain tall

To the valley down where the shadows fall

   A minorAm
Met a man with a rifle in his hand
                      C majorC
Been away to battle in a distant land
 A minorAm
Taught him to hate taught him to kill

Now he's out on the road with a hole to fill
     FF         C majorC
Nobody knows the price he paid
         A minorAm          C majorC  G/BG/B
So he's taken his toll on the low highway

Interlude  A minorAm   |    |    |    ||x2

      C majorC   | C majorC G/BG/B|A minorAm   |C majorC   ||

Verse 3
      C majorC
Travelin' now on the low highway, windows down, listenin'

Wheels turnin' round on the asphalt sayin'

Every sound is a prophecy

      A minorAm
Heard an old man grumble and a young girl cry
                        C majorC
Brick wall crumble, white dove fly
   A minorAm
The call for justice and the cry for peace

And the voice of reason and the roar of the beast
      FF          C majorC         A minorAm        C majorC
And every mile was a prayer I prayed as I rolled down the low highway
