[Verse]
 
[Am]Man walkin‘ long the ra[Am/G]railroad [Am]tracks
[C]Goin‘ some place there’s no going [G]back

Hot [Am]soup on a campfire u[Am/G]under the b[Am]bridge

[C]Welcome to the new world [G]order
Families sleepin‘ in their cars in the Southwest

[Chorus]
 
[F]The highway is alive tonight
But nobody’s [C]kiddin‘ nobody about [C/B]where it [Am]goes
[G]I’m sittin‘ down here in the campfire light
[Am]Searchin‘ for the [Am/G]ghost of Tom [Am]Joad
 
 
[Verse]
 
[Am]He pulls a prayer book [Am/G]out of [Am]his sleeping bag
[C]Preacher lights up a butt and talk[G]talks a drag
Waitin‘ for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a[Am] cardboard box neath[Am/G] the under[Am]pass
Got a one-way ticket to [Am/G]the promis[Am]promised land
[C]You got hole in your bell[G]belly and a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
[Am]Bathin‘ in the cit[Am/G]city aquaedu[Am]aquaeduct
 
 
[Chorus]
 
[F]The highway is alive tonight
Where it’s he[C]headed everybody knows [C/B] [Am]

[Am]Now Tom said: "Mom, whe[Am/G]wherever t[Am]there’s cop beatin‘ a guy

Look[Am]Look for me Mom I’ll be [Am/G]there [Am]
Wherever there’s somebod[Am/G]somebody fightin‘[Am]fightin‘ for a place to stand
[C]Or decent job or helping [G]hand
Wherever somebody’s strugglin‘ to be free
[Am]Look in their eyes[Am/G]eyes Mom you’[Am]you’ll see me"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
[F]Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody’s [C]kiddin‘ nobody about [C/B]where it [Am]goes
