Gulf Coast Highway Chords
Gulf Coast Highway
Nanci Griffith
G C G
Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails,
G C
He worked the rice fields with their cool dark wells,
Em D G
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico,
C G D G
The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road
Chorus
Em D G
And when he dies, he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
C G D G
And he will fly away to heaven, come some sweet blue bonnet spring

G C G
She walked through spring time, when I was home
G C
Our days were sweet, the nights were warm
Em D G
Seasons pass, jobs would come, flowers fade,
C G D G
This old house felt so alone when the work took me away
Em D G
And when she dies, she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing,
C G D G
And she will fly away to heaven, come some sweet blue bonnet spring.
G C G
Highway 90, the jobs are gone,
G C
We tend our garden, we set the sun
Em D G
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow
C G D G
And once a year they come and go At this old house here by the road
Em D G
And when we die, we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing,
C G D G
And we will fly away together come some sweet blue bonnet spring.
