[Intro]
 
A (1 Measure)
 
[Verse 1]
 
A             E                     A
Maria, I work hard for a poor man’s wage
    D                A                E
My back is bent, and I feel twice my age
    A                               D
My neck is saddle brown, my fingers bleed
           A             E                A
And we’re barely getting by with what we need
 
[Chorus]
 
               D               A
This lonesome road, this dusty byway
          E               A
Miles and miles of faded memories
      D                 A
Route 99, Golden State Highway
A                      E              A
Maria that’s all there is for you and me
 
[Verse 2]
 
A                            E               A
I’ve spent fifteen years in rows of tangled vines
D                   A             E
Picking grapes for someone else’s wine
A                                     D
This valley’s dry, the water’s almost gone
A                E                    A
Maria, pack your things, we’re moving on
 
[Chorus]
 
               D               A
This lonesome road, this dusty byway
          E               A
Miles and miles of faded memories
      D                 A
Route 99, Golden State Highway
A                      E              A
Maria that’s all there is for you and me
 
[Instr. Break]
 
D - A - D - A - E - A
 
[Verse 3]
 
A                E                A
Headed south 10 miles from Porterville
D                          A              E
The fields are brown, the air is warm and still
A                              D
Thumbing for a ride here all alone
       A              E           A
Since Maria said this time I’m on own
 
[Chorus]
 
               D               A
This lonesome road, this dusty byway
          E               A
Miles and miles of faded memories
      D                 A
Route 99, Golden State Highway
A                         E             A
Maria that’s all that’s left of you and me
A                       E                A
Maria that’s all that’s left of you and me
 
[End]
