[Intro]
| F#m | - | - | - |
[Verse 1]
F#m
They made up their minds
Bm
And they started packing
C#7 F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F#7 Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m C#7 F#m
But where were they going without ever knowing the way
[Verse 2]
F#m
They drank up the wine
Bm
And they got to talking
C#7 F#m
They now had more important things to say
F#7 Bm
And when the car broke down they started walking
F#m C#7 F#m
Where were they going without ever knowing the way
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
[Chorus]
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#7
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E
They'll never get old aand grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#7
But they really don't care
D
They wanted the highway
A E
Theyre happier there today
C#7
Today
[Verse 3]
F#m
Their children woke up
Bm
And they couldn't find them
C#7 F#m
They'd left before the sun came up that day
F#7 Bm
They just drove off and left it all behind them
F#m C#7 F#m
But where were they going without ever knowing the way
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
[Chorus]
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#7
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E
They'll never get old aand grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#7
But they really don't care
D
They wanted the highway
A E
Theyre happier there today
C#7
