 Lyrics:
 
 Fm
 Yeah! His guitar slung across his back
 His dusty boots is his cadillac
 Flamin` hair just a-blowin` in the wind
 ain`t seen a bed in so long it`s a sin
 C#7#9
 He left home when he was seventeen
 The rest of the world he was gonna see
 Fm
 And everybody knows the boss
 a rollin` stone gathers no moss
 
 G#
 Now you`d probably a-call him a tramp
 A#
 But it goes a little deeper than that
 Fm
 He`s a highway chile
 Highway Chile
 
 Fm
 Some people say he had a girl back home
 who messed around and did her baby wrong
 They tell it kinda hurt him bad 
 Kinda made him feel pretty sad
 I couldn`t say what went through his mind
 Anyway he left the world behind
 Everybody knows the same old story
 in love or war you can lose your glory
 
 G#
 Now you`d probably a-call him a tramp
 A#
 But I know it goes a little deeper than that
 He`s a highway chile
 
 Walk on brother 
 
 C#7#9
 His old guitar slung across his back
 His dusty boots is his cadillac
 Fm
 Flamin` hair just a-blowin` in the wind
 ain`t seen a bed in so long it`s a sin
 
 G#
 Now you`d probably a-call him a tramp
 A#
 But I know it goes a little deeper than that
 He`s a highway chile
 
 Walk on brother
 Don`t let no one stop you
 Highway Child
