CAREFREE HIGHWAY CHORDS

[Start]

[Verse]
E D A B
   
E              B            G#7             C#m  
Picking up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
  A              E             B7     
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
E               
Her name was Ann
    B                 G#7          C#m 
And I'll be damned if I recall her face
A               B               E 
She left me not knowing what to do


[Chorus]
D                A
Carefree highway 
       B            E  
Let me slip away on you
D                A
Carefree highway 
            B          
You've seen better days
    C#m           B    
The morning after blues
        A         E     F#sus4 F#7
From my head down to my shoes    
E D                A
 Carefree highway 
       B                      E  
Let me slip away slip away on you

[Verse]
E                B            G#7          C#m  B
Turning back the pages to the times I love best 
  A         E                  B   
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
        E                 B     
Now the thing that I call living
        G#7   C#m      
Is just being satisfied
     A             B              E    
With knowing I got no one left to blame


[Chorus]
D                A
Carefree highway 
            B              E    
I've got to see you my old flame
D                A
Carefree highway 
            B          
You've seen better days
    C#m           B    
The morning after blues
        A               F#sus4 F#7
From my head down to my shoes    
E D        A      
 Carefree highway
       B                      E  
Let me slip away slip away on you

[Verse]
E                     B        
Searching through the fragments
      G#7             C#m  
Of my dream shattered sleep
A               E                     B    B7
I wonder if the years have closed her mind  
E                  B             G#7           C#m 
I guess it must be wanderlust or trying to get free
         A                 B               E   
From the good old faithful feeling we once knew


[Chorus]
D                A
Carefree highway 
       B            E  
Let me slip away on you
D                A
Carefree highway 
                B          
You've seen the better days
    C#m           B    
The morning after blues
        A         E     F#sus4 F#
From my head down to my shoes   
E D                A
 Carefree highway 
       B                      E   D
Let me slip away slip away on you 
A        B            E  
 Let me slip away on you
D                A
Carefree highway 
            B              E    
I've got to see you my old flame
D                A
Carefree highway 
            B          
You've seen better days
    C#m           B

        A         E     B     F#
From my head down to my shoes  
E D               
 Carefree highway
A      B                      E
