A lot going on here on the higher strings. Em is often played with a high G, so

The last played Am in the verses is mostly played as x3221x
Apart from that, lots of hammer-ons and pull-offs all the time

[Intro]
Em Esus Em B7
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Verse 1]
Em
The road that even saints are bound
   Am
Is one that no one wants to go down
   Em
But take all the detour signs you want
         B7                 Em
You will end up there either way
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Some say that it’s pure golden
Am
Some say its darkness and gloom
Em
You can call it what you will
    B7                 Em
The road is to be your doom
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Chorus]
Em
The lonely highway
Am       Em
Ooooooooooooh
Em
The lonely highway
B7       Em
Ooooooooooooh
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Verse 3]
    Em
Its curse on your ears will be deafening
    Am
Its curse on your eyes will leave you squinting
Em
Brand lines on your face every mile you go
    B7                   Em
And leave your mind part broken
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Verse 4]
    Em
You may go down there on accident
   Am
Or when you hear a calling voice
    Em
You may go down there way to soon
   B7                      Em
Or simply by your own damn choice
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Chorus]
Em
The lonely highway
Am       Em
Ooooooooooooh
Em
The lonely highway
B7       Em
Ooooooooooooh
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Verse 5]
Em
Some people have near misses
Am
Some people turn back halfway
Em
Some go down with a brutal fight
    B7                           Em
And some go down like a piece of cake
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Verse 6]
Em
But like every road, it meets its end
Am
There it’s where ya meet your family and friends
    Em
The light at the end of the tunnel will cease
       B7              Em
So you finally rest in peace
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Chorus]
Em
The lonely highway
Am       Em
Ooooooooooooh
Em
The lonely highway
B7       Em
Ooooooooooooh
 
[Interlude]
Em Esus Em B7
Em Esus Em B7
 
[Verse 7]
Em
The road that even saints are bound
   Am
Is one that no one wants to go down
     Em
Take all the detour signs you want
         B7                  Em
You will end up there either way
