Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Gul[D]f C[A]oas[D]t Highway
He [G]worked the [D]rails
He worked the rice fields
With their cool dark [G]wells
He worked the [Bm]oil rigs in the
[A]Gulf of Mex[D]ico
The only [G]thing we've ever owned

[Verse 2]
[D]
Is this old house here [A]by the [D]road
And when he [Bm]dies he says he'll catch
[A]Some blackbird's wing

[Verse 3]
[D]Then he will fly[G] away to Heaven [D]come
Some sweet [A]blue bonnet [D]spring
She [G]walked through [D]springtime
When [G]I was h[D]ome
The [G]days were sweet

[Verse 4]
[D]
The [F#m]nights [G]were warm
The seasons [Bm]change, the jobs would
[A]Come, the flowers [D]fade
This old [G]house felt so alone

[Verse 5]
[D]
When the [A]work took me [D]away
And when she [Bm]dies she says, she'll
Catch [A]some blackbirds [D]wing
Then she will [G]fly away
to Heav[D]en come
Some [A]sweet blue bonnet [D]spring
[F#][G][F#][B][E]
[A][G]

[Verse 6]
[A]
[D]Highway 90
The [G]jobs are [D]gone
We tend our garden
We set [G]the sun
This is the [Bm]only place on earth
[A]Blue bonnets gro[D]w
Once [G]a year they come [D]and go
At this old [A]house here by
the [D]road

[Verse 7]
And when we [Bm]die we say, we'll
Catch [A]some blackbirds [D]wing
Then we will [G]fly away to Heav
[D]en come
Some sweet [A]blue bonnet [D]spring

[Verse 8]
And when we [Bm]die we say, we'll
Catch [A]some blackbirds [D]wing
We will [G]fly away [D]together come
Some sweet [A]blue bonnet [D]spring
