Verse 1
(A minor) (G major) (A minor)
Men walking 'long
the railroad tracks
Going some (C major) place,
there's no going (G major) back
Highway patrol choppers
coming up over the ridge
Hot (A minor) soup on a campfire
under the bridge
Shelter line stretching
'round the corner
Welcome to (C major) the new world (G major) order
Families sleeping in the
cars in the southwest
No (A minor) home, no job, no peace, no rest
Well the (F major) highway
Verse 2
is alive tonight
But nobody's (C major) kidding nobody
about where it (A minor) goes
I'm (G major) sitting down here in the
campfire light
Searching (A minor) for the ghost of Tom Joad

Verse 3
He pulls a prayer book (A minor) out
of his sleeping bag
Preacher light (C major) s up a butt
and he takes a (G major) drag
Waiting for when the last shall be
first and the first shall be last
In a (A minor) cardboard box 'neath
the underpass
You got a one- way ticket
to the promised land
You got a (C major) hole in your belly and
a gun in your (G major) hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
(A minor) Bathing in the city's aqueduct
Verse 4
(A minor) Go!
Well the (F major) highway is alive tonight
(C major) Where it's headed everybody (A minor) knows
I'm (G major) sitting down here
in the campfire light
(A minor) Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad (F major)
Verse 5
(F major) (C major)
Now (G major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor) Tom said, "Mom,
wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Wherever a hungry (C major) newborn
baby cries (G major)
Where there's a fight against the
blood and hatred in the air
(A minor) Look for me, Mom,
I'll be there
Verse 6
Wherever somebody's (A minor) fighting
for a place to stand
Or a (C major) decent job or a helping (G major) hand
Wherever somebody's
struggling to be free
(A minor) Look in their eyes,
Ma, and you'll see me"
Yeah!
The (F major) highway
Verse 7
is alive tonight
Where it's (C major) headed everybody (A minor) knows
I'm (G major) sitting down here
in the campfire light
(A minor) With the ghost of old Tom Joad (F major)
