KEY G

8     8    8  7   6   6
Blue Ken-tuck-y high-way

-5b -5b   -5b -5b 5
Head-in' for the line

4   -6b  7   7
She had-n't said 

-6b 6   6   6
A word all night

6   -6b  -5b  -5b   -5b -5b
But the wheels are turn-in' 

-5b -5b -5b
In her mind

4   8  9   9  8   -6b  -5b
Now I was rid-in' shot-gun

7  -5b -8    -5b   8   -5b 8  6
And I knew things had gone a-wry

6     7   7   7  7
Just as soon as she 

-6b    -6b -6b
Dropped me off

-6b 8   -6b -6b -7 -6b
At the side of the road

-6b -7  -6   -6   -7  -6  -6
And she let that grav-el fly


CHORUS

-6   9   8   -7
Now I'm walk-in' 

-7   -7  7   5
In the moon-light

7   7    7    7
See-in' noth-in' 

7    7   -6b   -5b
But the tail-lights

4    6     7   7
And that's a pair 

7    7   -6b
Of tail-lights

5  5  -5b -5b -5b 7  6
I may nev-er see a-gain

-7   8  -7  -7
She hit me with 

7  5    5    5
A left and right

7     7  7   7    7
Show-in' me noth-in' 

7    7   -6b  -5b
But the tail-lights

8     6     7 7    7   7  -6b
And that's a-bout as lone-ly

5  5 -5b  -5b   -5b -7 -4
As a high-way's ev-er been

-6b  -6b  -6b  -6b
Back here with my

-6    -6   6  7   7
Thumb out in the wind


VERSE 2


Was it somethin' that I did to her,
Or the things I never said
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
Now if I even make it back to town
Before the sun comes up
I'm gonna hit every parking spot around
'Til I find that pick-up truck


CHORUS 2

-6    9   8   -7
Now I'm talk-in' 

-7   -7  7   5
In the moon-light

7   7    7   7
See-in' noth-in' 

7    7    -6b -5b
But the tail-lights

4     6    7   7
And that's a pair 

7    7   -6b
Of tail-lights

5  5  -5b -5b -5b 7  6
I may nev-er see a-gain

-7   8  -7  -7
She hit me with 

7   5   5   5
A left and right

7     7   7   7   7
Show-in' me noth-in' 

7    7  -6b   -5b
But the tail-lights

8     6    7  7   7   7   -6b
And that's a-bout as lone-ly

5   5 -5b -5b  -5b -7  -4
As a high-way's ev-er been

-6b    -6b  -6b -6b
Stuck here with my 

-6    -6  6   7   7
Thumb out in the wind

8     9    7    7
Well I'll bet right 

7     9    7    7
Now she's laugh-in'

7   7   7   -5b
At how she brought 

-5b 6  6   -4
Me to my knees

-9   9   -7   -7   -7  -7
But she won't be laugh-in' 

-7    9  -7
Half as loud

-7    9   -6   -6
When she gives me 

-6   -6 -6 
Back my keys

8      7   8   -7
She'll be walk-in' 

-7   7   5    5
In the moon-light

7   7    7   7
See-in' noth-in' 

7    7   -6b   -6b
But the tail-lights

4     6    7  7
And that's a pair 

7    7    -6b
Of tail-lights

5    5   -5b -5b -5b 7  6
She won't ev-er see a-gain

-7   5  -7  -7
She hit me with 

7  5    5   5
A left and right

 7   7    7    7 
And with noth-in' 

7    7   -6b   -5b
But the tail-lights

10  10 8    6
And I know that's 

7  7   7   7   -6b
A-bout as lone-ly

5  5  -5b —5b  -5b -7  -4
As a high-way's ev-er been

-6b   -6b  -6b -6b
Back here with my 

-6    -6  6   7   7
Thumb out in the wind


There she goes, here I come (SPOKEN)
