Caroline Herring - Delta Highway
CAPO: 2nd Fret
G
I was on a Delta highway
Am
Twilight rising from the road
D
Lightning shone on cotton fields
G
I drove through pink skies alone
Went to Lourdes and Santiago
Am
Traveled down to New Orleans
D
Between pilgrims and les bon temps
G ~ ~
Live the visions and the dreams
CHORUS:
C Am D G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
A D
Funny how the time goes
G
So far away from home
Climbed the Yellow Mountain
Am
Held the sun in my hand
D
Worshipped the warriors
G
In tombs of ancient lands
Did not reach to the leper
Am
Though she gave me a smile
D
I just played this old guitar
G ~ ~
Amidst a 1000 Chinese eyes
CHORUS:
C Am D G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
Am D
Funny how the mind goes
G
So far away from home
INSTRUMENTAL: G ~ ~ ~ Am D G Am D G ~ ~ ~ Am D G Am D G Am
D G
Maybe on the midland prairies
Am
We could trace familiar tears
D
Or wander through the desert
G
In hopes of Tunis or Algiers
And may the Moors next enchant me
Am
Tall, dark friend I have known
D
But when on the Delta highway
G ~ ~
I’ll think of you and you alone
CHORUS:
C Am D G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
Am D
Funny how the mind goes
G
So far away from home
CHORUS:
C Am D G
All this searching leads down such winding roads
Am D
Funny how the mind goes
G
So far away from home
