E              B            Ab7             Dbm  
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                 Ab7          Dbm 
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
    Dbm           B    
The morning after blues
        A         E     Gbsus4 Gb7 Gb
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            Ab7          Dbm  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
        Ab7   Dbm      
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
    Dbm           B    
The morning after blues
        A               Gbsus4 Gb
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
      Ab7             Dbm  
Of my dream shattered sleep
A               E                     Bsus4 B7
I wonder if the years have closed her mind  ■ 
  E                B             Ab7           Dbm 
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
    Dbm           B    
The morning after blues
        A         B     Gbsus4 Gb
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
    Dbm           B    
The morning after blues
        A         E     B     Gb
From my head down to my shoes ■ 
E D        A      
■ Carefree highway
       B                      E  
Let me slip away slip away on you
