[Verse 1]
Am Am/G Am Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks C Am G Goin' someplace there's no goin' back G Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge Am G Am Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge Am Am/G Am Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner C Am G Welcome to the new world order G Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest Am G Am No home no job no peace no rest
[Chorus]
F The highway is alive tonight C G Am Where it's headed everybody knows G Sittin' down here in the campfire light Am G Am Gwaitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
[Verse 2]
C F C Lots of people out here east, they say F G Leavin' home most ev'ry day
Beatin' the hot old dusty way
F G C To the California line C F 'Cross the desert sands they roll G getting out of that old dust bowl F And they think they're going to a sugar bowl G C Here's what they find G D G The police at the port of entry say
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."
[Chorus]
C Oh if you ain't got the do-re-mi, boys G If you ain't got the do-re-mi
Well you'd better go back to beautiful Texas
F C Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
[Verse 3]
C California is a garden of Eden F It's a paradise to live in or see C G But believe it or not F You won't find it so hot F G Am If you ain't got the do-re-mi
[Verse 4]
Am Am/G Am Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy C Am G Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries G Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air Am G Am Look for me Tom I'll be there Am Am/G Am Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand C Am G Or decent job or a helpin' hand G Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free Am G Am Look for me Ma you'll see me."
[Chorus]
F The highway is alive tonight C G Am Where it's headed everybody knows G Sittin' down here in the campfire light Am G Am Waitin' on the ghost of old Tom Joad
[Chorus]
F The highway is alive tonight C G Am Where it's headed everybody knows G Sittin' down here in the campfire light Am G Am Waitin' on the ghost of old Tom Joad
