[Verse]
Db                     Ab   Bbm          Db      
A farmer and a teacher ■  a hooker and a preacher
Gb                       Db        Ab    
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
        Db                  Ab         Bbm             
One was headed for vacation ■  one for higher education
Gb                   Ab            Db        
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls
Ebm                            Ab       
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
Ebm                                   Absus4
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime  


[Chorus]
Ab           Db                      Fm     Bbm               Db     
■  There are ■  three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Gb                              Db          Ab   
■  Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows
             Db                   Ab       Bbm7             Db        
I guess it's ■  not what you take when you leave this world behind you
Gb                  Ab                  Db
It's what you leave behind you when you go


[Verse]
                           Ab   Bbm                  
That farmer left a harvest ■  a home and eighty acres
Gb                                    Db                 Ab7  
The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart
         Db                      Cm7        Bbm                      
And that teacher left her wisdom ■   in the minds of lots of children
        Gb               Ab7          Db   
Did her best to give 'em all a better start
         Ebm               
An' that preacher whispered
   Ab             Ebm                Ebm7                  Ab
As ■  he laid his bloodstained bible in that hooker's hand ■ 


[Chorus]
          Db                             Bbm               Db     
There are ■  three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Gb                              Db          Ab   
■  Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows
             Db           Ab            Bbm7             Db        
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
Gb                  Ab                  Db
It's what you leave behind you when you go


[Bridge]
         Bbm            Ab            Gb         
That's a story that our preacher told last Sunday
      Db                             
As he held that bloodstained bible up
Ab                  
For all of us to see
Bbm Ab   Gb
He  said ■ 
              Ebm               Ab Absus4
Who gave this Bible to my mamma ■  ■

Gb                              Db             Ab  
■  Why there's not four of them now I guess we know
Db                Dbmaj7        Bbm              Db        
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
Gb                  Ab                  Db
It's what you leave behind you when you go
                       Ab             Bbm        Ab     Db     
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
