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.

Capo 2nd

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

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
