CAREFREE HIGHWAY  (Gordon Lightfoot)


Capo 3rd fret


INTRO:   D C G Asus4 A

 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 Ann & I'll be damned if I recall her face
      G           A              D
She left me not knowing what to do.


          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       D/F#   Esus4 E
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
D          C      G       Asus4     A               
 Carefree Highway  let me slip away
              D C G A    D C G Asus4 A
slip away on you


 D               A           F#            Bm  A
Turnin back the pages to the times I love best
   G               D           Asus4  A
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
 D                 A                 F#             Bm
Now the thing that I call living is just being satisfied
      G            A              D
With knowin I got no one left to blame


          C       G           A              D
Carefree Highway    I got to see you my old flame
          C      G              A
Carefree highway   you've seen better days
     Bm             A            G       D/F#   Esus4  E
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
D          C      G       Asus4     A                     
 Carefree Highway  let me slip away  
                      D C G A  D C G Asus4 A
let me slip away on you


  D                A                F#              Bm  A
Searchin thru the fragments of my dream shattered sleep
    G             D                  Asus4  A
I wonder if the years have closed her mind
         D               A             F#             Bm
Well I guess it must be wander lust or trying to get free
          G                 A               D
From the good old faithful feeling we once knew
