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