Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks

Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
        G                         G        G    G
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
    Am                 (Em)      Am    Am
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge

Am                       Am        Am    Am
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner
C              (C)       G    G
Welcome to the new world order

Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest

No home no job no peace no rest

The highway is alive tonight
             C                    (G)      Am  Am
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
    G                        G        G    G
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Am                G        Am      Am
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad


          Am                      Am       Am  Am
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag

Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag

Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
    Am                        (G)     Am  Am 
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass


      Am                    Am       Am   Am
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
          C                      (C)         G   G
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
G                       G     G   G
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Am                  (G)     Am   Am
Bathin' in the city aqueduct


    F          F     F      F
The highway is alive tonight
C                 G         Am   Am
Where it's headed everybody knows
    G                        G        G    G
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Am             (G)      Am      Am
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

Now Tom said "Mom


Am                     Am        Am  Am
wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
           C              (C)  G    G
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
                G                           G             G   G
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Am              (G)     Am   Am
Look for me Mom I'll be there


                 Am                      Am       Am   Am
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
  C                (C)     G   G
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
         G                     G     G   G
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Am                     (G)        Am  Am
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

Well the highway is alive tonight
             C                    (G)      Am  Am
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
    G                        G        G    G
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Am                (G)     Am  Am
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
