Strum
D-DU-UDU
 There's a tavern  up on the roadside I must be coming into town
 The moon must be in Aries Because the truck  ain't slowing down
Pulled  back on the throttle  I've been doing that  all day
 Looking ahead for a right-hand turn To carry me  away
 There's times  for understanding It don't seem  like one  of those
 The times are too demanding When you're hanging  by your nose
 So why don't  you just get out  of here And leave me here  to pray
 That one of these mornings the sun's going to rise And carry me  away
Carry  me over  the highway  Carry me over  the sky
 Carry me over  the loneliness  That I'm  feeling  here tonight
 You know I'm feeling just like a riptide And I'm feeling  a little scared
 A twisted maze of old highways Nobody  has repaired
 It ain't nothing  that can't be handled  Like an actor in  a play
 Who becomes enraged, jumps from the stage And gets  a little carried  away
 Now all of your highways Don't mean much  to me  no more
 I've been on all of your highway roads Of that  you can be sure
 But I still  get lost on all  of them roads I can't seem to find  my way
 I know there's one out there somewhere To carry me  away
 (CHORUS)

There's a [G]tavern up on the roadside   I must be [C]coming [D]into [G]town
The moon must be in Aries   Because the [F]truck ain't slowing [D]down
[Am]Pulled back on the [C]throttle   I've been doing [D]that all [G]day
Looking ahead for a right-hand turn   To [C]carry [D]me a[G]way

There's [G]times for understanding    It don't [C]seem like [D]one of [G]those
The times are too demanding    When you're [F]hanging by your [D]nose
So why [Am]don't you just get [C]out of here   And leave me [D]here to [G]pray
That one of these mornings the sun's going to rise    And [C]carry [D]me aw[G]ay

[G]Carry me [C]ove[D]r the [G]highway   Carry me [C]ove[D]r the [G]sky
Carry me [C]over[D] the [Em]loneliness   That I'm[C] feeling[D] here to[G]night

You know I'm feeling just like a riptide    And I'm [C]feeling a [D]little [G]scared
A twisted maze of old highways     No[F]body has rep[D]aired
It ain't [Am]nothing that can't be [C]handled    Like an actor [D]in a [G]play
Who becomes enraged, jumps from the stage   And [C]gets a little [D]carried a[G]way

Now all of your highways   Don't mean [C]much to [D]me no [G]more
I've been on all of your highway roads   Of [F]that you can be [D]sure
But I [Am]still get lost on a[C]ll of them roads    I can't seem to [D]find my [G]way
I know there's one out there somewhere  To [C]carry [D]me a[G]way

(CHORUS)
