         G                             C           G

         Till I out run, your memory

         G                             C           G
         Bound down that Long Lonesome Highway, as fast as I can fly

                      D                       G
         Just want to go, someplace you won't be

                           C              G
         I'm movin on to a new place, and hold my head up high

                      D                       G
         Where no one knows, what you done to me

         C                    G
         a thousand miles, between us now

             C                     D
         and still some how, these blues have tracked me down

              G             C           G
         That Lone Lonesome Highway, as far as I can go

                    D              G
         Till I out run, your memory


         (insturmental)  G C G D G C G C D G C G D G

Verse 3:

         G                             C                       G
         Bound down that Long Lonesome Highway, cause it's the only place I know

                  D                   G
         Ain't no clouds, hangin over me

                                      C        G
         Leave me alone, cause it's a long way no matter where I go

                    D                      G
         Nothin but blues, as far as I can see

         C                G                 C
         I wish I had you back again, but I know I can't

            D                          G             C                G
         So here I go again, down that Long Lonesome Highway, just as far as I can go

                    D              G    D G D G
         Till I out run, your memory
