 MAMA KNOWS THE HIGHWAY (recorded by Hal Ketchum)
 ------------------------------------------------
 [Actually in A; capo 2.]
 [Each chord is one measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen are one
  measure total.  (Em - D, G - G/F#, C - G/B, G - D)]
 [The chords with * have that little mandolin part with F# and G notes.]
 G*   C*   G*  Em - D     G*   C*   G*   Em - D
 [intro]
 
 G                C              G     G
   Mama knows the highway by the songs
          G                G            D     D
 When she hears a good one, she always sings along
 G               C                  G   G
 She don't ever worry 'bout what's gone
          G               G   D                    G       G
 She says, "good country music will never steer you wrong"
 
 G                C                 G      G
 She talks to the truckers with her lights
 G                       A                D      D
 Maybe just a little bit more on Saturday nights
 G            C           G        G
 She knows a good road to paradise
            G              D             G         G
 And that's just enough to keep the highway bright
 
       C               C             G*    G*
 Yeah, Mama knows the highway now by heart
 G   -   G/F#    Em               D    D
 She can see the rain before it starts
 G             C/G       G                  C/G
 Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
 G                 D            G*    C*   G*   Em - D
   Mama knows the highway now by heart
 
 G              C      G      G
 She can tell Wyoming by the wind
         G            G              G             D   D
 She can tell another trucker by the rig that he's in
 G                C                G    G
 She knows how to watch the river bends
 G                    D           G    G
 She knows where the real South begins
 
 Well, Mama knows the highway now by heart
 She can see the rain before it starts
 Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
 Mama knows the highway now by heart
 
 G  C  G  G    G  G  D  D
 [guitar solo]
 G  C  G  G    G  D  G  G
 [piano solo]
 
 C   -   G/B      Am         G   -    D       C
 She can gauge a cafe just by looking at the sign
 A7           A7           C          C        D   D
   Little old places always share the grand design
 
 Mama knows the highway now by heart
 She can see the rain before it starts
 Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
 G                 D            Em*    Em*
   Mama knows the highway now by heart
 
 G               D            G*    C*   G*   Em - D
 Mama knows the highway now by heart
                G*      C*     G*       Em - D
 Mama knows the highway, yeah, yeah yeah
 G*      C*     G*       Em - D
 [instrumental; repeat and fade]
