Gulf Coast Highway
F C
He worked the rails

He worked the rice fields
F
With their cool, dark wells

Am G C
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
F C
The only thing he’s ever owned
G C
Is this old house here by the road

[Chorus]
Am
And when he dies
G C
He says he’ll catch some blackbird’s wing
F C
He will fly away to Heaven
G C C C
Come some sweet, blue bonnet spring

[Verse]
C
She walked through springtime
F C
Whеn he was home

The days werе sweet
F
The nights were warm

Am G C
The seasons change, the jobs would come, the flowers fade
F C
And this old house felt so alone
G C
When the work took me away

[Chorus]
Am
And when she dies
G C
She says she’ll catch some blackbird’s wing
F C
She will fly away to Heaven
G C
Come some sweet, blue bonnet spring

Highway 90
F C
Jobs are gone

They tend their garden
F
They set the sun

Am G C
This is the only place on Earth blue bonnets grow
F C
Once a year they come and go
G C
This old house here by the road

[Chorus]
Am
And when they die
G C
They say they’ll catch some blackbird’s wing
F C
They will fly away to Heaven
G C
Some sweet, blue bonnet spring

Am
Yes, when we die we say
G C
We’ll catch some blackbird’s wing
F Am
We will fly away together
G C C
Some sweet blue bonnet spring
