Lyrics:
[Fm]Yeah! His guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind
ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin
[C#7#9]He left home when he was seventeen
The rest of the world he was gonna see
[Fm]And everybody knows the boss
a rollin' stone gathers no moss
[G#]Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp
[A#]But it goes a little deeper than that
[Fm]He's a highway chile
Highway Chile
[Fm]Some people say he had a girl back home
who messed around and did her baby wrong
They tell it kinda hurt him bad
Kinda made him feel pretty sad
I couldn't say what went through his mind
Anyway he left the world behind
Everybody knows the same old story
in love or war you can lose your glory
[G#]Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp
[A#]But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile
Walk on brother
[C#7#9]His old guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
[Fm]Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind
ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin
[G#]Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp
[A#]But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile
Walk on brother
Don't let no one stop you
Highway Child
