[Verse 1]
Am
Men walking along the railroad tracks
C                                 G
Going someplace, there's no going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
    Am
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretching around the corner
C                          G
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
   Am
No home, no job, no peace, no rest

[Chorus]
         F
Well the high  way is alive tonight
             C
But nobody's kidding nobody about
         Am
where it goes
    G
I'm sit ting down here in the campfire light
Am
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad

[Verse 2]
           Am
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
               C                         G
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first
shall be last
     Am
In a cardboard box beneath the underpass
You got a oneway ticket to the pro
mised land
          C                                    G
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Am
Bathing in the city's aqueduct

[Chorus]
         F
Well the highway is alive tonight
C                            Am
Where it's headed, everybody knows
    G
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Am
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad

[Solo Harmonica]
F C Am G Am
           Now Tom said, "Mom,
   Am
wherever there's a cop beating a guy

[Verse 3]
           C                     G
Wherever a hungry new  born baby cries
Where     there's
a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Am
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
     C                       G
Or a decent job or a helping hand
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
Am
Look in their eyes, Ma,
and you'll see me"

[Chorus]
         F
Well the high   way is alive tonight
             C
But nobody's kidding nobody about
         Am
where it goes
    G
I'm sit ting down here in the campfire light
Am
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
