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
