Nanci Griffith - Gulf coast highway

^GGulf coast highw^Cay, he worked the ra^Gils, ^GHe worked the rice fields with their cool dark^C wells, He worked the ^Emoil rigs in the G^Dulf of Me^Gxico, The only^C thing we've ever o^Gwned is this ol^Dd house here by the ro^Gad

And when h^Eme dies, he says he'll ^Dcatch some blackbird^G's wing And he will^C fly away to h^Geaven, come some sw^Deet blue bonnet sprin^Gg

^GShe walked through spr^Cing time, when I was^G home ^GOur days were sweet, the nights were^C warm Seasons ^Empass, jobs would ^Dcome, flowers ^Gfade, This old ^Chouse felt so al^Gone when th^De work took me ^Gaway

And when she ^Emdies, she says she'll ^Dcatch some blackbird's w^Ging, And she will ^Cfly away to he^Gaven, come some sweet^D blue bonnet spr^Ging.

^GHighway 90, the^C jobs are g^Gone, ^GWe tend our garden, we set t^Che sun This is the ^Emonly place on earth b^Dlue bonnets g^Grow And onc^Ce a year they come^G and go At this old h^Douse here by the road^G And when we ^Emdie, we say we'll ca^Dtch some blackbird's ^Gwing, And we w^Cill fly away t^Gogether come some sweet ^Dblue bonnet spring. ^G
