Gordon Lightfoot – Hiway Songs (Guitar)

                A
When I walk the hills so high

 C         G                D
Around the town where I was born

                  A
New York seems so far away

       C     G                D     A  C  G  D
Though I was there just yesterday 

                 A
I have played on my guitar

   C     G                 D
In coffeehouses, halls and bars

              A
Everyone that I call friend

C          G              D     A  C  G  D
Knows they will not be forgot 

                      A
Trains and planes and rented cars

C        G                D
Singers, saints and other stars

               A
I suspect them every one

        C     G                     D
They'll never change, it's too much fun 

A                E
Just for now I'd like to rest

G                 D
In the shade of a maple tree

A             E
To the blue Canadian sky

     G                    D                 E  A    E  A
I'll say a prayer for the world out there 

D               A
When I stand on my own sod

   C        G                   D
It feels so good to be home, by god

                    A
The winter wind has turned my head

      C      G                D     A  C  G  D
But I always came up warm somehow 

                   A
Bottles, beads and cigarettes

    C      G                  D
And lovers that I ain't found yet

               A
Picking with a friend till dawn

    C       G                D
And singing all those hi'way songs

A                E
Just for now I'd like to rest

G                 D
In the shade of a maple tree

A             E
To the blue Canadian sky

     G                    D                 E  A    E  A
I'll say a prayer for the world out there 

D               A
When I walk the hills so high

 C         G                D
Around the town where I was born

                  A
New York seems so far away

       C     G                D
Though I was there just yesterday 

               A
I would travel all my life

   C     G                D
If loneliness was not the price

                     A
While heading north across that line's

    C    G        D
The only time I'm flying
