Tonart: B minor
Verse 1
Bm
Man walking down the railroad track
A
and there's no going back
Highway patrol chopper
coming up over the ridge
Bm
Hot soup on a campfire
under the bridge
Shelter lines stretching
around the corner
D
A
Welcome to the new world order
Family sleeping in the cars
in the south -west
Bm
But no home, no job, no peace, no rest
G
The highway is alive tonight
D
A
Where it's headed everybody knows
Bm
A
Sittin' down here in the campfire light
Bm
Waitin' on the ghost of old Tom Joe
He takes a prayer book out
of his sleepin' bag
D
The preacher lights up a bud
Dm
D
A
and he takes a drag
He's waitin' for the last shall be first
and the first shall be last
Bm
In the cardboard box
beneath the underpass
You got a one -way ticket
to the promised land
D
You got a hole in your belly
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bm
Bathing in the city aqueduct
G
The highway is alive tonight
D
A
Bm
Where it's headed everybody knows

Sitting down here in the
campfire light

Waiting on the ghost of old Tom

Bm
Tom says, Ma,
wherever there's a cop
beatin' the guy
D
A
Where a hungry newborn baby cries
A fight against the blood hatred in the air
Bm
Well, just look for me, and I'll be there
If there's somebody fighting
for a place to stand
D
A
Or a decent job or a helping hand
If there's someone struggling to be free
Bm
Just look in their eyes,
Ma, and you'll see
G
The highway is alive tonight
D
A
Bm
Where it's headed everybody knows
A
Sitting down here in the campfire light
Bm
With the ghost of old Tom Jones
