CAPO 1ST FRET
[Verse]
[C]A FARMER AND A TEACHER, [Am]A HOOKER AND A PREACHER[F]PREACHER, RIDING ON A MIDNIGHT
BUS,[G] BOUND FOR MEXICO. ONE WAS[C] HEADED FOR VACATION, ONE FOR[Am] HIGHER
EDUCATION, AND [F]TWO OF THEM WERE S[G]SEARCHING FOR LO[C]LOST SOULS.
[Pre-chorus]
THAT [Dm]DRIVER NEVER EVER SAW THE ST[G]STOP SIGN, AND [Dm]EIGHTEEN WHEELERS
CAN'T STOP ON A DI[G]DIME.
[Chorus]
THERE ARE,[C] THREE WOODEN CR[C/B]OSSES ON THE R[Am]IGHT SIDE OF THE [Am/G]HIGHWAY.
[F]WHY THERE'S NOT FOUR OF THEM, H[C]EAVEN ONLY KN[G]OWS. I GUESS IT'S[C] NOT WHAT YOU
[C/B]TAKE, WHEN YOU [Am]LEAVE THIS WORLD BEH[Am/G]BEHIND YOU, IT'S [F]WHAT YOU LEAVE BEH[G]BEHIND YOU
WHEN YOU GO[C]GO.
[Verse]
THAT[C] FARMER LEFT A HARVEST, A[Am] HOME AND EIGHTY ACRES. THE[F] FAITH AND
LOVE FOR GROWING THINGS,[C]THINGS, IN HIS YOUNG SON'S H[G]HEART. AND THAT [C]TEACHER LEFT
HER WISDOM, IN THE[Am]THE MINDS OF LOTS OF CHILDREN, DID HER [F]BEST TO GIVE THEM AL[G]ALL
BETTER STA[C]START.
[Pre-chorus]
AND THAT PR[Dm]PREACHER WHISPERED, CAN'T YOU SEE THE PR[G]PROMISE LAND? AS
LAY HIS [Dm]BLOOD-STAINED BIBLE IN THAT HOOKERS [G]HANDS.
[Chorus]
THERE ARE,[C] THREE WOODEN CR[C/B]OSSES ON THE R[Am]IGHT SIDE OF THE [Am/G]HIGHWAY.
[F]WHY THERE'S NOT FOUR OF THEM, H[C]EAVEN ONLY KN[G]OWS. I GUESS IT'S[C] NOT WHAT YOU
[C/B]TAKE, WHEN YOU [Am]LEAVE THIS WORLD BEH[Am/G]BEHIND YOU, IT'S [F]WHAT YOU LEAVE BEH[G]BEHIND YOU
WHEN YOU GO[C]GO.
[Bridge]
THAT'S THE [Am]STORY THAT OUR PR[G]PREACHER TOLD LAST [F]SUNDAY, AS HE [C]HELD HIS
BLOOD-STAINED BIBLE UP, FOR [G]ALL OF US TO SEE. HE SAID BLESS THE [Am]FARMER, AND
[G]TEACHER, AND THAT [F]PREACHER. WHO GAVE THIS [Dm]BIBLE TO MY MOMMA, WHO [G]READ IT TO ME.
[Chorus]
THERE ARE,[C] THREE WOODEN CR[C/B]OSSES ON THE R[Am]IGHT SIDE OF THE [Am/G]HIGHWAY.
[F]WHY THERE'S NOT FOUR OF THEM, [C]NOW I GUESS WE K[G]KNOW. [C] IT'S NOT WHAT YOU
[C/B]TAKE, WHEN YOU [Am]LEAVE THIS WORLD BEH[Am/G]BEHIND YOU, IT'S [F]WHAT YOU LEAVE BEH[G]BEHIND YOU
WHEN YOU GO[C]GO..
[Outro]
THERE ARE,[C]ARE, THREE WOODEN CR[C/B]CROSSES ON THE [Am]RIGHT SIDE [Am/G]OF... THE [C]HIGHWAY
