Carefree Highway
Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot
Sundown
1973
I'm still working on Gord's Gold.  I've found a
lot of songs that I know off it, and this is the
second that I've chosen to figure out.  I hope you
enjoy it.  And for all who have read my theory
pages: forget what you learned for this song.  He
does some great out-of-key work.

D A F# Bm A Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream G D Asus4 A I wonder how the old folks are tonight D A F# Bm Her name was Anne and I'll be damned if I recall her face G A D She left me not knowin' what to do
CHORUS C G A D Carefree highway let me slip away on you C G A Carefree highway you've seen better days Bm A G G/F# Esus4 E The mornin'-after blues from my head down to my shoes D C G Asus4 A D Carefree highway let me slip away slip away on you | | | | (D) C G Asus4 A D C G Asus4 A(addA)
Turnin' back the pages to the times I loved best I wonder if she'll ever do the same Now the thing that I called livin' was just bein' satisfied With knowin' I got no one left to blame
CHORUS Carefree highway I've got to see you my old flame Carefree highway you've seen better days The mornin'-after blues from my head down to my shoes Carefree highway let me slip away slip away on you
Searchin' through the fragments of my dream-shadowed sleep I wonder if the years have closed her mind I guess it must be wanderlust or tryin' to get free From the good old faithful feelin' we once knew
CHORUS Carefree highway let me slip away on you Carefree highway you've seen better days The mornin'-after blues from my head down to my shoes D C G Asus4 A D Carefree highway let me slip away slip away on you (D) C G A D Let me slip away on you Carefree highway I got to see you my old flame Carefree highway you've seen better days The mornin'-after blues from my head down to my shoes Carefree highway let me slip away slip away on you | | | | (D) C G Asus4 A D C G A repeat until fade
