Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am G G
Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am

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

Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner
C C (C C) G G G G
Welcome to the new world order
G G G G G G G G
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
Am Am (G G) Am Am Am Am
No home no job no peace no rest


(Chorus)

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


Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
C C (C C) G G G G
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
G G G G G G G G
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
Am Am (G G) Am Am Am Am
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass


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


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


(Solo)
F F F F F F F F / C C (G G)
Am Am Am Am G G
Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am
Now Tom said "Mom


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


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


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


(Solo)
