Gulf Coast Highway Nanci Griffith
[G]Gulf coast highw[C]ay, he worked the ra[G]ils,
[G]He worked the rice fields with their cool dark[C] wells,
He worked the [Em]oil rigs in the G[D]ulf of Me[G]xico,
The only[C] thing we've ever o[G]wned is this ol[D]d house here by the ro[G]ad
Chorus
And when h[Em]e dies, he says he'll [D]catch some blackbird[G]'s wing
And he will[C] fly away to h[G]eaven, come some sw[D]eet blue bonnet sprin[G]g
[G]She walked through spr[C]ing time, when I was[G] home
[G]Our days were sweet, the nights were[C] warm
Seasons [Em]pass, jobs would [D]come, flowers [G]fade,
This old [C]house felt so al[G]one when th[D]e work took me [G]away
And when she [Em]dies, she says she'll [D]catch some blackbird's w[G]ing,
And she will [C]fly away to he[G]aven, come some sweet[D] blue bonnet spr[G]ing.
[G]Highway 90, the[C] jobs are g[G]one,
[G]We tend our garden, we set t[C]he sun
This is the [Em]only place on earth b[D]lue bonnets g[G]row
And onc[C]e a year they come[G] and go At this old h[D]ouse here by the road[G]
And when we [Em]die, we say we'll ca[D]tch some blackbird's [G]wing,
And we w[C]ill fly away t[G]ogether come some sweet [D]blue bonnet spring.[G]
