Delta Highway Chords

(ver. 1)
Caroline Herring
CAPO: 2nd Fret


                 G
I was on a Delta highway
                   Am
Twilight rising from the road
                 D
Lightning shone on cotton fields
                            G
I drove through pink skies alone



Went to Lourdes and Santiago
                       Am
Traveled down to New Orleans
                         D
Between pilgrims and les bon temps
                        G        ~ ~ 
Live the visions and the dreams

 
CHORUS:
C        Am        D                       G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
              A          D
Funny how the time goes 
                G
So far away from home

 
                    
Climbed the Yellow Mountain
                   Am
Held the sun in my hand
               D
Worshipped the warriors
                    G
In tombs of ancient lands



Did not reach to the leper
                     Am
Though she gave me a smile
                       D
I just played this old guitar
                      G     ~ ~ 
Amidst a 1000 Chinese eyes

 
CHORUS:
C        Am        D                       G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
              Am          D
Funny how the mind goes 
                G
So far away from home


INSTRUMENTAL: G ~ ~ ~ Am D  G   Am  D  G  ~ ~ ~ Am D  G   Am  D  G  Am

 
      D              G
Maybe on the midland prairies
                        Am
We could trace familiar tears
                      D
Or wander through the desert
                       G   
In hopes of Tunis or Algiers



And may the Moors next enchant me
                         Am
Tall, dark friend I have known
                      D
But when on the Delta highway
                           G     ~ ~ 
I'll think of you and you alone

 
CHORUS:
C        Am        D                       G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
              Am         D
Funny how the mind goes 
                G
So far away from home


CHORUS:
C        Am        D                       G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
              Am         D
Funny how the mind goes 
                G
So far away from home
