Lucinda Williams - Ghosts Of Highway 20 Chords

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
