Highways And Cigarettes chords by Son Volt

From the 2007 album "The Search"

Capo on 2

Intro

D G D G D G D G

[D]Got caught up in a breakaway dream
Destin[Cadd9]ation city of New [G]Orleans
[Cadd9]Cheap motels and [G]big rig swells
Crossing [D]bridges for eternity

[D}Headed west for a two week stand
Saw the [Cadd9]poets of workaday [G]glasses
Las [Cadd9]Cruces is a [G]part of you now
Desert [D]birds sing songs of [Cadd9]laughter[G]

Still [A]out there with the coffee stains
And [G] putting miles on shoes
Can't [A]escape the smell of cigarettes
Still [Bm] living out these Am[C]erican late night [G] blues

Intro again

[D]Best to clear the mind
With a [Cadd9]Mexicali radio [G]station
[Cadd9]Keep an eye out for the [G]border patrol
Checking for [D]drugs and so called [G]aliens

[D]Highways and dreams forever together
In the [C]minds of the free and the [G]innocent
[C]Always a future in the [G]traveler's hands
Starting [D]fires on the river of [C]madness[G]

Still [A]out there with the coffee stains
And [G] putting miles on shoes
Can't [A]escape the smell of cigarettes
Still [Bm] living out these Am[C]erican late night [G] blues

Intro again

Still [A]out there with the coffee stains
And [G] putting miles on shoes
Can't [A]escape the smell of cigarettes
Still [Bm] living out these Am[C]erican late night [G] blues

Intro again to end the song on D
