Gulf Coast Highway Chords & Tabs
Gulf Coast Highway Chords
Capo on 2nd fret
C
Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails
F
He worked the rice fields with their cool, dark wells
Am G C
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
F C G C
The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road
Am G C
And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C G C
And he will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.

And this house felt so alone, when the work took me away
Am G C

And she will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.

Higway 90, the jobs are gone now

We tend our garden and we set the sun

This is the only place on earth Blue Bonnets grow

And once a year they come and go at this old house here by the road

And we will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.
Am G C
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
