GUEST,Eric-o Lyr Req: I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home (10) Lyr Add: CAREFREE HIGHWAY (Gordon Lightfoot) 09 Apr 01


Could it be this? Gordon Lightfoot, Carefree Highway...

CAREFREE HIGHWAY

(D) Picking up the (A) pieces of my (F#) sweet shattered (Bm) dream (A)
I (G) wonder how the (D) old folks are to- (Asus4) night (A)
Her (D) name was Ann and (A) I'll be damned if (F#) I recall her (Bm) face
(G) She left me not (A) knowing what to (D) do

Carefree (C) highway, (G) let me (A) slip away on (D) you
Carefree (C) highway, (G) you seen (A) better days
The (Bm) morning after (A) blues from my (G) head down (G/F#) to my (Esus4) shoes
(D) Carefree (C) highway, (G) let me (Asus4) slip away, (A) slip away on (D) you

(C) (G) (A) (D) (C) (G) (Asus4) (A)

Turning back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the thing that I call living is just being satisfied
With knowing I got no one left to blame

Carefree highway, got to see you my old flame
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you

Searching through the fragments of my dream shattered sleep
I wonder if the years have closed her mind
I guess it must be wanderlust or trying to get free
From the good old faithful feeling we once knew

Carefree highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you
Let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, got to see you my old flame
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The morning after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away, slip away on you

By the way, If I'm breaking any rules posting a whole song like this, please let me know, and accept my apology. :0)
