SONG: GHOSTS OF HIGHWAY 20 ARTIST: LUCINDA WILLIAMS TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] INTRO: Dm Dm CHORUS:
             Dm
I know this road like the back of my hand

               Bb                  Dm
Same with the stations, on the FM band

           Bb                    Dm
Farms and truck stops, firework stands

             Am                       Dm
I know this road like the back of my hand
VERSE:
          Dm
Southern secrets still buried deep

              Bb                             Dm
Brooding and restless 'neath the cracked concrete

             Bb                     Dm
If you were from here, you would defend me

                             Am               Dm
To the death along with the ghosts of highway 20
VERSE:
                Dm
I went through hell when I was younger

             Bb                  Dm
Deep in the well you'll see the hunger

             Bb               Dm
To find the strength I got within me

                     Am               Dm
To wrestle with the ghosts of highway 20

            Dm
Been sixty years, I don't want for nothing

        Bb                  Dm
But my tears, they keep on coming

        Bb                Dm
And my fears continue to haunt me

                Am               Dm
Along with the ghosts on highway 20
CHORUS:
             Dm
I know this road like the back of my hand

               Bb                  Am
Same with the stations, on the FM band

           Dm                        Dm
Farms and truck stops, and firework stands

             Am                       Dm
I know this road like the back of my hand
Dm Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Dm Am Dm Dm Dm VERSE:
         Dm
Who I am now to who I was then

           Bb                  Dm
I knew somehow I'd come back again

           Bb                  Dm
No doubt about it, I'm next of kin

                Am                  Dm
To all all the ghosts along highway 20

          Dm
Run down motels, the fading billboards

               Bb              Dm
Used cars for sale, the rusty junkyards

               Bb                 Dm
This two lane blacktop will never let me

               Am                  Dm
Let go of the ghosts along highway 20

            Dm
And I have seen the signs that say

              Bb               Dm
We're closing in on the final days

           Bb           Dm
But I got nothing to repent

                             Am               Dm
My saving grace is with the ghosts on highway 20
CHORUS:
             Bb                       Dm
I know this road like the back of my hand

               Bb                  Am
Same with the stations, on the FM band

           Dm                        Dm
Farms and truck stops, and firework stands

                   Am                       Dm  Dm
Yeah, I know this road like the back of my hand
VERSE:
       Dm
Every question and every breath

      Bb                    Dm
Every exit leaves a little death

        Bb        Dm
In its wake a memory

                           Am               Dm
That will wander with the ghosts of highway 20
CHORUS:
              Bb                            Dm
Yeah, I know this road like the back of my hand

               Bb                  Am
Same with the stations, on the FM band

           Dm
Farms and truck stops and firework stands

             Am                       Dm  DM
I know this road like the back of my hand
VERSE:
            Dm
And I have seen the signs that say

We're closing in the final days

           Bb               Dm
But I got nothing left to repent

My saving grace is with the ghosts on highway 20
