Bm        Bm        F#               E                 Bm
   Well me and my friend we walked through the split
         Bm        F#          E          F#7
  Then I headed on home and he headed out bound
           Bm        A6
  I didn't listen to him
              Bm           Gm
  But you can take it from Jim

[chorus] 
        D    G
  It's a highway
        D    G
  It's a highway 
        D    Bm          G
  It's a highway lowdown

[verse]
Bm          G                              Bm   E7  Bm  E7
  If you're tired why don't you just go to sleep
Bm              G                                         Bm     E7 Bm E7
  And if you're wired I'll be your brother and you can be my keep
Bm              G                         E7                G
  And all these fires, Jim, they just keep following you around

[chorus]
        D    G
  It's a highway
        D    G
  It's a highway 
        D    Bm          G
  It's a highway lowdown

  You can get found if you don't think like my good friend James
Bm                    G 
  He wasn't even underground
                                   Bm         E7 Bm E7
  I think he was playing all those faster gigs
Bm                     G
  I bet you can't slow down
              E7                   G           
  You'll be a running man while you pray

[chorus]
        Bm   A
  It's a highway
        Bm   A
  It's a highway
        Bm   A   A6
  It's a highway

[break]
       Bm        F#         E               Bm
  Some call it a road, some call it a street
       Bm           F#
  Well say what you will
           E            F#7
  It leads right out of town
       Bm       A6
  To a desolate land
          Bm            Gm
  It will mess up yours plans

[chorus]
        D    G
  It's a highway
        D    G
  It's a highway
        D    Bm         G
  It's a highway lowdown

        D    G
  It's a highway
        D    G
  It's a highway
        D    Bm          G   Bm  E  Bm
  It's a highway lowdown
