[Intro]
 A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
You'd think after years of just giving it all
      D
While playing your heart out and no curtain call
                                  A
After large fame and fortune just passes on by
                              D           Bm    E7
You'd think any rounder would kiss it goodbye
A
But a few days at home and I'm back in the grind
D
Dead broke and ornery, half out of my mind
                                   A
'Til a call comes in from some old slick I once knew
     Bm         A          D           Bm  G   E7
So I pack up my guitar and shine up my shoes
 
 
[Chorus]
     D                                    E7
On a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
A                                   E7
My two-lane companion shoulders the load
A
Won't you take me right back where I come from before
D         E7           E7
Weary old highway
Bm            A            D         A     A
Take me back, take me down home oncе more

[Verse 2]
A
It's not for the money whеn it's never quite there
     D
Or packing it up in the cold midnight air
                            A
It's not for the glamour of living alone
     Bm             A                Bm        E7
In a thousand cheap hotels we get to call home
A
But it's call time at Sharkey's on a Saturday night
         D
When the air is electric and the music is tight
                               A
It's choosing a pathway that's always been there
                               D          Bm E7
With a good-tuned guitar, I've made it, I swear
 
 
[Chorus]
     D                                    E7
On a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
A                                   E7
My two-lane companion shoulders the load
A
Won't you take me right back where I come from before
D         E7           E7
Weary old highway
Bm            A            D         A     A
Take me back, take me down home oncе more
 
 
[Chorus]
     D                                    E7
On a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
A                                   E7
My two-lane companion shoulders the load
A
Won't you take me right back where I come from before
D         E7           E7
Weary old highway
Bm            A            D         A     A
Take me back, take me down home oncе more
 
 
[Outro]
A
Weary old highway (Highway)
A
Weary old highway (Highway)
A
Weary old highway
