Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) (A minor) A (G major) (Gsus4) farm
(G major) (C major) er and a teacher, (G major)
a (A minor) hooker and a preacher
Rid (C major) ing (F major) on a midnight bus
bound (C major) for Mexico
One (G major) was (C major) headed for vacation,
one (G major) for (A minor) higher education
And two (F major) of them were search
(G major) ing for lost (C major) souls
That driver (D minor) never ever saw the stop (G major) sign
And (D minor) 18 -wheelers can't
stop on a bind (G major)
(Gsus4) There (G major) are three (C major) wooden crosses (G major)
on (C major) (G major) the right (A minor) side of the highway (Gsus4)
(C major) Why (F major) there's not four of them,
heaven only (C major) knows (G major)
I guess it's not (C major) what you take
(G major) when you leave (A minor) this world
behind (G major) you (C major)
It's (F major) what you leave behind
(G major) you when you go (C major)
That farmer left to harvest
a (G major) (A minor) home and 80 acres
The (F major) faith and love for growing things
in (C major) his young son's (G major) heart
And that teach (C major) er left her wisdom
in (G major) the (A minor) minds of lots of children
And did her (F major) best to give them
all (G major) a better start (C major)
That preach (D minor) er whispered,
can't you see the prom (G major) ised land
As he lay his bloodstained (D minor) Bible
in that hooker's hand (Gsus4) (G major)
There are three (C major) wooden crosses (G major)
on the right (A minor) side of the high (Gsus4) way
(G major) Why (C major) (F major) there's
not four of them,
(C major) heaven only (G major) knows
I guess it's (C major) not what you take
(G major) when you leave (A minor) this world behind you. (C major)
It's (F major) what you leave behind (G major) you
when you go. (C major)
That's the (A minor) story that our
preach (G major) er told last (F major) Sunday.
As he held (C major) that blood -stained Bible
up for (G major) all of us to see,
He said, bless the farm (A minor) er,
and the (G major) teacher, and the (F major) preacher
Who gave this Bible (D minor) to my mama,
who read (G major) it to me
There are three (C major) wooden crosses
on the (G major) right (A minor) side of the high (C major) way
Why (F major) there's not four of them,
now (C major) I guess we know (G major)
It's (C major) not what you take
(G major) when (C major) you leave (A minor) this
world behind you (C major)
It's (F major) what you leave behind
(G major) you when you go (C major)
There are three wooden crosses (G major)
on the right (A minor) side of (G major) the highway
