Carefree Highway
Gordon Lightfoot
Capo 2nd fret
Intro: | D C | G Asus4 | A |
D A F# Bm A
Pickin up the pieces of my sweet, shattered dream
G D Asus4 A
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
D A F# Bm
Her name was Ann and I'll be damned if I recall her face
G A D
She left me not knowing what to do.
C G A D
Carefree highway, let me slip away on you
C G A
Carefree highway, you've seen better days
Bm A G D/F# Esus4 E
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
D C G Asus4 A D
Carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you
| D C | G Asus4 A | D C | G Asus4 | A |
D A F# Bm A
Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best
G D Asus4 A
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
D A F# Bm
Now the thing that I call living is just being satisfied
G A D
With knowin' I got no one left to blame
C G A D
Carefree highway, I got to see you, my old flame
C G A
Carefree highway, you've seen better days
Bm A G D/F# Esus4 E
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
D C G Asus4 A D
Carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you
| D C | G Asus4 A | D C | G Asus4 | A |
D A F# Bm A
Searchin' through the fragments of my dream shattered sleep
G D Asus4 A
I wonder if the years have closed her mind
D A F# Bm
I guess it must be wander lust or trying to get free
G A D
From the good old faithful feeling we once knew
C G A D
Carefree highway, let me slip away on you
C G A
Carefree highway, you've seen better days
Bm A G D/F# Esus4 E
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
D C G Asus4 A D C
Carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you
G A D
Let me slip away on you
C G A D
Carefree highway, I got to see you, my old flame
C G A
Carefree highway, you've seen better days
Bm A G D/F# Esus4 E
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
D C G Asus4 A D
Carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you
| D C | G Asus4 A | (repeat and fade)
