Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Chorus:
C majorC                FF
The highway's shining like an old river top
         C majorC
Just as far as you can see
            Bb majorBb
Far beyond that canyon wall
            C majorC
There ain't nowhere I'd rather be


Verse 1:
               FF
But back home in my darlin's sweet lovin' arms
             C majorC
There ain't nobody quite like she
                  Bb majorBb
There ain't no feelin' quite like free
               C majorC
The highway shine is calling me
            FF
Think I found myself a big record deal
           C majorC
Gonna move down to the Row
            Bb majorBb
Gonna relocate to Los Angeles
              C majorC
And I won't have to work no more
                 FF
'Cause I've been held down by the man too long
           C majorC
Gettin' by on gettin' by
             Bb majorBb
And I can't take it anymore
                  C majorC
They want me to lay right down and die


Chorus:
C majorC               FF
The highway's shining like an old river top
        C majorC
Just as far as you can see
             Bb majorBb
Far beyond that canyon wall
             C majorC
There ain't nowhere I'd rather be

Verse 2:
C majorC           FF
Comin' back from Amarillo, babe
            C majorC
I just talked to Billy Joe
                Bb majorBb
Told me to listen to this song that he wrote
             C majorC
"I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal"
               FF
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday‚ babe
              C majorC
Oh honey‚ just you wait and see
              Bb majorBb
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone
               C majorC
The highway shine is calling me


Chorus:
C majorC               FF
The highway's shining like an old river top
            C majorC
Just as far as you can see
            Bb majorBb
Far beyond that canyon wall
                C majorC
There ain't nowhere I'd rather be
C majorC               FF
The highway's shining like an old river top
            C majorC
Just as far as you can see
            Bb majorBb
Far beyond that canyon wall

Highway shine is calling me
            Bb majorBb
Far beyond that canyon wall

The highway shine is calling me
