Its A Long Lonely Highway

---------------------------------------------------------------------------            (It’s a) Long Lonely Highway - Elvis Presley --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman From: “Kissin’ Cousins” (1963) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | | % | % | % | [Verse] It’s a long lonely highway when you’re travellin’ all alone And it’s a mean old world when you got no one to call your own And you pass through towns too small to even have a name oh yes But you gotta keep on goin’ on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin’ though there’s no one to care Just keep mo-ovin’ down the line    [Verse] It’s a long lonely highway without her by my side And it’s a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried My heart’s so heavy it’s a low-down dirty shame oh yes But you gotta keep on goin’ on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin’ though there’s no one to care Just keep mo-ovin’ down the line    [Middle 8] I got a rock for my pillow ’neath a weeping willow And the cool grass for my bed My drinking water’s muddy so don’t you tell me buddy That I wouldn’t be better off dead [Verse] It’s a long lonely highway gettin’ longer all the time And if she don’t come and get me well I’m gonna lose my mind So if you read about me tell her she’s the one to blame oh yes You gotta keep on goin’ on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin’ though there’s no one to care Just keep mo-ovin’ down the line [Outro] Movin’ down the line Movin’ down the line (repeat and fade)
