 Intro:
 
 [A] [D A] [D A] [E A] (2X)
 
 
 Verse 1:
 
       A                            D        A         
     
 I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round 
 
  D      A      E        A                             
      
 Hangin' up my highway shoes 
 
 A                               D      A              
     
 Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound 
 
           D     A   E        A                        
      
 And they carry me away from you 
 
 E                     D    A                          
     
 Every night I lay my body down 
 
    D     A          D     A   E                       
      
 My empty arms just leave me blue 
 
          A                            D         A     
     
 So I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round 
 
      D       A        E       A                       
      
 And find my way back home to you

 Verse 2:
 
 A                        D        A                   
     
 I have always been the travelin' kind 
 
    D       A       E       A                          
      
 A million miles behind me now 
 
 A                          D         A                
     
 I kept on followin' that thin white line 
 
      D     A       E     A                            
     
 But now I want to turn around 
 
 E                          D       A                  
   
 I only lived to hear that highway sound 
 
  D        A          D   A   E                        
    
 High and lonesome - low and blue 
 
           A                            D         A    
     
 Now I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round 
 
      D       A        E       A                       
     
 And find my way back home to you

 Verse 3:
 
 A                         D        A                  
    
 So say goodbye to all my ramblin' pals 
 
      D       A        E         A                     
   
 Ol' Highway Dave and Southside Sue 
 
 A                               D   A                 
   
 I don't believe they'll miss me anyhow 
 
        D         A       E       A                    
    
 What's one less wayward soul or two 
 
 E                               D    A                
     
 Down the road they'll pass the jug around 
 
              D         A        D   A    E            
 
 And they'll sing them lonesome highway blues 
 
              A                            D         A 
 
 But me I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin'
 'round 
 
      D       A        E       A                       
     
 And find my way back home to you
