Travelin' n^Cow on the low highway, three thousand miles to the Frisco Bay Across the rivers wild and the lonesome plains

Up the coast and down and back again Am ------------0-----------| I saw empty houses on a dead end street -1-1-1/3--3----3-----1--| C -2-2-2/4--4------0-0h2--| People linin' up for something to eat -2-2-------------0-0h2--| Am -0-0-----------------0--| And the ghost of America watching me ------------------------| Through the broken windows of the factories

Pickin' ^Fbones of a better d^Cay as I roll d^Amown the low highwa^Cy

Interlude (C*) | | | || Verse 2

Travelin' n^Cow on the low highway by the yellow moon and the light of day Snow white crown of the mountain tall

To the valley down where the shadows fall

Met a ^Amman with a rifle in his hand Been away to battle in a distant land ^C Ta^Amught him to hate taught him to kill

Now he's out on the road with a hole to fill

Nobody kn^Fows the price he p^Caid So he's taken his ^Amtoll on the low highw^Cay ^G/B

Interlude Am | | | ||x2 C | C G/B|Am |C || Verse 3

Travelin' n^Cow on the low highway, windows down, listenin' Wheels turnin' round on the asphalt sayin'

Every sound is a prophecy

Heard an ol^Amd man grumble and a young girl cry Brick wall crumble, white dove fly ^C The c^Amall for justice and the cry for peace

And the voice of reason and the roar of the beast

And every m^File was a prayer I p^Crayed as I rolled d^Amown the low highw^Cay
