Lonesome Highway

This starts with a country chorus but the verses owe more to Bo Diddley! Nice vocals on the chorus from Steve.

UFS 08 Lonesome Highway

Start with chorus

E

Gonna take a break from that Lonesome Highway

B7 E

Gonna take a rest from that daily grind

Gonna slow my pace on some scenic byway

B7 E

Find a place to ease my troubled mind

 

Verses (faster )

E A E (E A E)

With all you’ve seen and all you’ve done

E B7 E ( E B7 E)

Still gotta remember where you come from

We all need to know our roots

If you wanna move on to those growing shoots

 

See those businessmen on that train

Some of them don’t remember their name

See those wild geese flying by

They know where and they know why

 

See that politician’s smile

Makes you want to run a mile

Hear the deceit hear the cant

Set’s you off upon a rant

 

Papers full of celebrities

Brings you down onto your knees

Sporting heroes made from clay

Do their best to spoil your day
