Caroline Herring - Delta Highway


CAPO: 2nd Fret


         G+G
I was on a Delta highway
          A minorAm
Twilight rising from the road
         D MajorD
Lightning shone on cotton fields
              G+G
I drove through pink skies alone

Went to Lourdes and Santiago
            A minorAm
Traveled down to New Orleans
             D MajorD
Between pilgrims and les bon temps
            G+G    ~ ~
Live the visions and the dreams


CHORUS:
C majorC    A minorAm    D MajorD            G+G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
       A augmentedA     D MajorD
Funny how the time goes
        G+G
So far away from home


Climbed the Yellow Mountain
          A minorAm
Held the sun in my hand
        D MajorD
Worshipped the warriors
          G+G
In tombs of ancient lands


Did not reach to the leper
           A minorAm
Though she gave me a smile
            D MajorD
I just played this old guitar
           G+G   ~ ~
Amidst a 1000 Chinese eyes

CHORUS:
C majorC    A minorAm    D MajorD            G+G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
       A minorAm     D MajorD
Funny how the mind goes
        G+G
So far away from home


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G ~ ~ ~ A minorAm D MajorD G+G  A minorAm D MajorD G+G ~ ~ ~ A minorAm D MajorD G+G  A minorAm D MajorD G+G A minorAm


   D MajorD       G+G
Maybe on the midland prairies
            A minorAm
We could trace familiar tears
           D MajorD
Or wander through the desert
            G+G
In hopes of Tunis or Algiers


And may the Moors next enchant me
             A minorAm
Tall, dark friend I have known
           D MajorD
But when on the Delta highway
              G+G   ~ ~
I’ll think of you and you alone


CHORUS:
C majorC    A minorAm    D MajorD            G+G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
       A minorAm     D MajorD
Funny how the mind goes
        G+G
So far away from home


CHORUS:
C majorC    A minorAm    D MajorD            G+G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
       A minorAm     D MajorD
Funny how the mind goes
        G+G
