KEY G

CHORUS

G F D
THE HIGHWAY RIDER
C G D
GOIN' DOWN THE ROAD ON 500LBS OF STEEL
C F D
THE HIGHWAY RIDER
C D G
NOBODY KNOWS THE WAY HE REALLY FEELS

VERSE 1
G
HE ROLLS RIGHT INTO TOWN
C D
WITH A SMILE THAT GETS THE GIRLS
C
HIS LONGHAIR BLOWIN' IN THE BREEZE
G D
YOU'DE THINK HE RULED THE WORLD
C
HIS HARLEY SMOKIN' THUNDER
D
AS HE CRUISES THROUGH THE RAIN
C
HE'LL MELT YOUR LADIES HEART
D G
THEN HE'S ON THE ROAD AGAIN

VERSE 2
G
HE GREW UP AN ORPHAN BOY
C D
AND LIVED HIS LIFE IN HOMES
C
SOMEONE NAMED HIM JIMMY BLUE
G D
CAUSE HE ALWAYS WAS ALONE
C
BUT AS HE TRAVELS HERE AND THERE
D
SOME FOLKS DRIVE HIM MAD
C D
WOMEN THINK THAT HE'S A STUD
C D
MEN THEY DRAG HIM THROUGH THE MUD
C D
JIMMY BLUE JUST CRYS A TEAR
C D
HIS SADNESS SHOWS WHEN NO ONE'S NEAR
C D
ALL HE WANTS IS A WIFE AND A FAMILY
G
THAT HE NEVER HAD

CHORUS

C F D
THE HIGHWAY RIDER
C G D
GOIN' DOWN THE ROAD ON 500LBS OF STEEL
C F D
THE HIGHWAY RIDER
C D G
NOBODY KNOWS THE WAY HE REALLY FEELS

VERSE 3
G
HE HIT A TOWN LATE ONE NIGHT
C D
HUNGRY FOR A MEAL
C
A KID RAN OUT FROM NOWHERE
G D
JIMMY SCREECHED HIS WHEELS
C
WHEN HE PICKED THE BOY UP
D
HE WAS CRYIN' FOR HIS MUM
C
SOMEONE KNEW THE KID'S ADDRESS
D G
SO JIMMY TOOK HIM HOME
G
A WIDOW SHE WAS WAITING
C D
AS HE CARRIED IN HER BOY
C
SHE TOOK HIM IN HER TREMBLIN' ARMS
G D
AND CRIED WITH TEARS OF JOY
C
JIMMY WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE
D
WHEN THE LADY CALLED HIM IN
C
LATER IN HER COMPANY
D G
HE TOLD HER WHERE HE'D BEEN

VERSE 4
G
SHE LOOKED INTO HIS EYES
C D
HER LOVE SHE COULD NOT HIDE
C
SHE TOOK JIMMY BY SURPRISE
G D
HE FELT REAL GOOD INSIDE
C
NOW THEY GET MARRIED SUNDAY WEEK
D
AN' HIS HAPPINESS IS REAL
C D G
NO LONGER TO BE RIDING ON 500LBS OF STEEL
G D G
NO LONGER TO BE RIDING ON 500LBS OF STEEL
D C G D G
NO LONGER TO BE RIDING ON 500....LBS OF STEEL
