In The Gravel Yard Chords

(ver. 1)
Blue Highway
[Chorus]
G                           C              G
In the gravel yard, with a number for my name
G                           D              G
Making little rocks out of big rocks all day
G                           C                G
Oh, the work is mighty hard in the gravel yard
G                  D                G
I'll never be a free man, so they say.


[Instrumental break]

[Verse 1]
G                    C              G
Warden hear my plea, listen now to me
G                       D              G
I killed a man that I caught with my wife
G                           C                 G
You'd probably do the same, so why am I to blame
G                  D           G
Sentenced to the rest of my life


[Chorus]
G                           C              G
In the gravel yard, with a number for my name
G                           D              G
Making little rocks out of big rocks all day
G                           C                G
Oh, the work is mighty hard in the gravel yard
G                  D                G
I'll never be a free man, so they say.

[Verse 2]
G                         C            G
In the driven rain with a ball and chain
G                         D            G
My hammer rings a low and mournful sound
G                              C                G
I sing a little song for the one who done me wrong
G                     D           G
She’s lyin’ in the cold, cold ground


[Chorus]
G                           C              G
In the gravel yard, with a number for my name
G                           D              G
Making little rocks out of big rocks all day
G                           C                G
Oh, the work is mighty hard in the gravel yard
G                  D                G
I'll never be a free man, so they say.

—G---/G---/C---/G---/G---/D---/G---/G---/
G---/G---/C---/G---/G---/D---/G---/G---/


[Chorus]
G                           C              G
In the gravel yard, with a number for my name
G                           D              G
Making little rocks out of big rocks all day
G                           C                G
Oh, the work is mighty hard in the gravel yard
G                  D                G
I'll never be a free man, so they say.  G---/D---/G---/G---/end
