I Dream A Highway Back To You
Gillian Welch/David Rawlings
Time (The Revelator) - song 10
Capo 4 Em7 can be played 020030
Em7 G C
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come and rest my soul
I dream a highway back to you.
John he's kicking out the footlights
The Grand Ole Opry's got a brand new band
Lord, let me die with a hammer in my hand
I dream a highway back to you.
I think I'll move down into Memphis
And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue
I lie and wait until the wagons come
And dream a highway back to you
Em7 G C
The getaway kicking up cinders
An empty wagon full of rattling bones
Moon in the mirror on a three-hour jones
I dream a highway back to you.
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come arrest my soul
I dream a highway back to you.
Em7 G C
Which lover are you, Jack of Diamonds?
Now you be Emmylou and I'll be Gram
I send a letter, don't know who I am
I dream a highway back to you.
Em7 G C
I'm an indisguisable shade of twilight
Any second now I'm gonna turn myself on
In the blue display of the cool cathode ray
I dream a highway back to you.
I wish you knew me, Jack of Diamonds
Fire-riding, wheeling when I lead 'em up
Drank whiskey with my G water,
C Sugar in my G tea
My C sails in G rags
With the C staggers and the G jags
I Em7 dream a G highway back to C you.
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision convalesced my soul
An' I dream a highway back to you.
I dream a highway back to you.
Em7 G C
Now give me some of what you're having
I'll take you as a viper into my head
A knife into my bed, arsenic when I'm fed
I dream a highway back to you.
Hang overhead from all directions
Radiation from the porcelain light
Blind and blistered by the morning white
I dream a highway back to you.
Em7 G C
Sunday morning at the diner
Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
I watched the waitress for a thousand years
Saw a C wheel inside a G wheel
Heard a C call within a G call
I Em7 dreamed a G highway back to C you.
Oh, I G dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a C band of G gold
A G silver vision conCvalesced my G soul
I Em7 dream a G highway back to C you.
Em7 G C
Step into the light, poor Lazarus
Don't lie alone behind the window shade
Let me see the mark death made
An' I dream a highway back to you.
I dream a highway back to you.
What will sustain us through the winter?
Where did last years lessons go?
Walk me out into the rain and snow
I dream a highway back to you.
Oh, I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come and bless my soul
An' I dream a highway back to you.
I dream a highway back to you
Oh, I G dream a highway back to C you love
A G winding ribbon with a C band of G gold
A G silver vision come and C bless my G soul
I Em7 dream a G highway back to C you...
