Chord Gulf Coast Highway by Nanci Griffith

capo on 2nd fret C gulf coast highway , he worked the rails F he worked the rice fields with their cool , dark wells Am G C he worked the oil rigs in the gulf of mexico F C G C the only thing we’ve ever owned is this old house here by the road Am G C and when he dies he says he’ll catch some blackbird’s wing F C G C and he will fly away to heaven , come some sweet blue bonnet spring . C she walked through springtime when i was home F our days were sweet , our nights were warm Am G C the seasons changed , the jobs would come , the flowers fade F C G C and this house felt so alone , when the work took me away Am G C and when she dies he says she’ll catch some blackbird’s wing F C G C and she will fly away to heaven , come some sweet blue bonnet spring . C higway 90 , the jobs are gone now F we tend our garden and we set the sun Am G C this is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow F C G C and once a year they come and go at this old house here by the road Am G C and when we die we say we’ll catch some blackbird’s wing F C G C and we will fly away to heaven , come some sweet blue bonnet spring . Am G C and when we die we say we’ll catch some blackbird’s wing F C G C and we will fly away together , come some sweet blue bonnet spring .
