[Intro]
D G A D
[Verse 1]
D
He was standing by the highway
D
with a sign that just said mother
D
when he heard a driver coming
A D
about a half a mile away
D
So he held the sign up higher
D
so no decent soul could miss it
D
it was ten degrees or colder
A D
down by boulder dam that day
[Verse 2]
D
He was raised up in Milwaukee
D
Though he never was that famous
D
He was just a road musician
A
to the taverns he would go
D
Singing songs about the rambling,
D
the loving girls and gambling
D
How the world fell on his shoulder,
A D
back in Boulder I don't know
[Verse 3]
D
It was out in Arizona
D
and he heard the lady listening
D
to each word that he was singing,
A
to each line that he would write
D
So he sat down by her table
D
and they talked about the weather
D
98.6 and rising
A D
down by Boulder dam that night
[Bridge]
D G
and she told him she would take him
A D
for a ride in the morning sun
D G
back in Boulder he had told her
A G D
I don't know when I've had a better friend
[Verse 4]
D
Now he's traded off his Martin
D
but his troubles are not over
D
his feet are almost frozen
A A
and the sun is sinking low
D
Won't you listen to me brother
D
if you ever loved your mother
D
please pull off on the shoulder
A D
if you're going Milwaukee way
[Coda]
D
it's ten degrees and getting colder
D
down by Boulder dam today.
