[Intro]
Bm x7
[Verse 1]
Bm Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
DGoin' someplace there's Bmno goin' Aback
AHighway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot Bmsoup on a campfire uEmnder the Bmbridge
BmShelter line stretchin' 'round the corner
DWelcome to the new world Aorder
AFamilies sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
No Bmhome no job no Apeace no Bmrest
[Chorus]
The Ghighway is alive tonight
Where it's Dheaded Aeverybody Bmknows
ASittin' down here in the campfire light
BmAwaitin' on theA ghost of TomBm Joad
[Verse 2]
DLots of people out here Geast, they Dsay
GLeavin' home most ev'ry day A
Beatin' the hot old dusty way
GTo the California Dline
D'Cross the desert sands they Groll
getting out of that old dust bowl A
And they think they're going to a sugar bowl G
Here's Dwhat they find
The Apolice at the port of Eentry sAay
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."
[Chorus]
Oh if you Dain't got the do-re-mi, boys
If you ain't got the do-re-Ami
Well you'd better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, GeorgiaG, TenneDssee
[Verse 3]
DCalifornia is a garden of Eden
It's a paradise to live in or Gsee
But Dbelieve it or Anot
You won't find it so Ghot
If you ain't got the Ado-Bmre-Dmi Bm
[Verse 4]
BmNow Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a Dhungry newborn Bmbaby Acries
AWhere there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
BmLook for me Tom AI'll be Bmthere
BmWherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or Ddecent job or a Bmhelpin' Ahand
AWherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
BmLook for me Ma Ayou'll see Bmme."
[Chorus]
The Ghighway is alive tonight
Where it's Dheaded Aeverybody Bmknows
ASittin' down here in the campfire light
BmWaitin' on the ghost of Aold Tom BmJoad
[Chorus]
The Ghighway is alive tonight
Where it's Dheaded Aeverybody Bmknows
ASittin' down here in the campfire light
BmWaitin' on the ghost of Aold Tom BmJoad
