[Intro]
E D A
[Verse 1]
A See the stretching sun at dawning D Wipe the stardust from his eyes A Feel the morning breezes yawning E Telling me it's time to rise C#m Bm7 A Telling me it's time to rise
[Chorus]
D E I was born to take the highway A I was born to chase a dream A Any road at all is my way A Any place is where I've been C#m Bm7 A Anything is what I've seen C#m Bm7 A D A Anything is what I've seen
[Verse 2]
A Gambler's gold is made for squandering D Miser's silver is to hoard A My gold as the sky goes wandering E My silver is the drinking gourd C#m Bm7 A My silver is the drinking gourd
[Chorus]
D E I was born to take the highway A I was born to chase a dream E Any road at all is my way E Any place is where I've been C#m Bm A Anything is what I've seen
[Verse 3]
A I've skipped on concrete A Danced on cobbles D Stepped on pavement in the heat A I've seen where children crouched at marbles A Made chalk circles in the street C#m Bm A Found a penny at my feet
[Chorus]
D E I was born to take the highway A I was born to chase a dream A Any road at all is my way A Any place is where I've been C#m Bm7 E A D A Anything is what I've seen
[Verse 4]
A Now I know a road that winds forever D Through the land the rainbows run A You cross the bridge from now till never A Take the first turn past the sun C#m Bm7 E A D A Take the first turn beyond the sun
[Out-Chorus]
D E I was born to take the highway A I was born to chase a dream A Any road at all is my way A Any place is where I've been C#m Bm E A D A Anything is what I've seen
