The Great Highway chords by Vincent Neil Emerson

Guitar chords with lyrics

🎸 Intro:

D   D   D   D


🎸 Verse:
 D
Headed down to San Antonio
 A
Up from the northern land
 D
I got a job to take
 G
Working for the Red Horse Band

 D
Pulling out of Arkin Town
 A
I got the Himalaya down
 D
Buddy, can you hear that sound?
 G
Running like a scarlet hound

🎸 Chorus:
 G                                            D
When that cold Canadian wind blows on my face
 A
I’ll be pushing on the gas
 G                           D
My wheels down on the track

 G
And my eyes are open wide
 D
I ain’t slept in days
 F                        G                            D
I’ve been traveling coast to coast on a great highway


🎸 Verse:
 D
Well, I got a strong right hand
 A
Tall as a man could stand
 D
Throwing back the coffee plant
 G
Checking on the thermostat

 D
Sitting on a green lean couch
 A
Chewing on a nicotine patch
 D
Cussing at the cars on the road
 G
Carrying a full-band load


🎸 Chorus:
 G                                            D
When that cold Canadian wind blows on my face
 A
I’ll be pushing on the gas
 G                           D
My wheels down on the track

 G
And my eyes are open wide
 D
I ain’t slept in days
 F                        G                            D
I’ve been traveling coast to coast on a great highway

🎸 Chorus:
 G                                            D
When that cold Canadian wind blows on my face
 A
I’ll be pushing on the gas
 G                           D
Wheels down on the track

 G
And my eyes are open wide
 D
I ain’t slept in days
 F                        G                            D
I’ve been traveling coast to coast on a great highway


🎸 Verse:
 D
Well, I got a wandering eye
 A
Watching the girls walk by
 D
Feeling like an old Tom cat
 G
Pushing back my cowboy hat

 D
Dodging another highway cop
 A
Looking for the next truck stop
 D
Breathing in the diesel fumes
 G
Sleeping in a motel room


🎸 Chorus:
 G                                            D
When that cold Canadian wind blows on my face
 A
I’ll be pushing on the gas
 G                           D
My wheels down on the track

 G
And my eyes are open wide
 D
I ain’t slept in days

 F                        G                            D
I’ve been traveling coast to coast on a great highway
 F                        G                            D
I’ve been traveling coast to coast on a great highway
 F                        G                            D
I’ve been traveling coast to coast on a great highway
