KEY TO THE HIGHWAY

Eric Clapton (Big Bill Broonzy)

[A][A7][D][Dm][A7][E7]

I got the [A] key to the [E] highway,
I'm [D] booked out and bound to go,
I'm gonna [A] leave here running,
[E] Walkings much too [A] slow [A7][D][Dm][A7][E7]

I'm going [A] back to the [E] border,
[D] Where I'm better known,
You [A] never done nothin,
[E] But drive a good man away from [A] home [A7][D][Dm][A7][E7]

Give me [A] one more kiss, [E] mama,
[D] Just before I go,
Cause when I [A] leave this time,
[E] I wont be back no [A] more [A7][D][Dm][A7][E7]

Now, when the [A] moon peeks over the mountain,
[D] You know I'll be on my way
I'm gonna [A] walk, walk this ol' [E] highway,
Until the break of [A] day [A7][D][Dm][A7][E7]

[A] So long and [E] good-bye, yes,
[D] I had to say good-bye,
'Cause I'm gonna [A] walk,
Walk this ol' [E] highway, 'til the day I [A] die [A7][D][Dm][A7][E7]
