Emmylou Harris

It ^Eb seems like I was ^Ab there ^Eb from the s ^Bb tart
A witness to your wild and reckless ^Eb heart
You showed me the ^Ab way but ^Eb now you're ^Bb gone
^Bb Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw's gun
Living fast and dying young
A victim of this road you left me ^Eb on
^Ab White ^Eb line t ^Bb ook my b ^Eb aby
^Ab Led him ^Eb down that ^Bb dark ^Eb highway
^Ab Headlight ^Eb blind driv ^Bb ing craz ^Eb y
^Ab If my ^Eb wheels keep ^Bb turning
^Bb Gonna roll that white line ^Eb away
^Eb We worked the road a ^Ab s hard ^Eb as we coul ^Bb d drive her
But now I am the only sur ^Eb vivor
>From night to night at ^Ab every ^Eb place I ^Bb play in
^Bb The sweetness of your song remains
I'll be the keeper of the flame
Til every soul hears what your heart was ^Eb saying
^Ab White ^Eb line t ^Bb ook my b ^Eb aby
^Ab Led him ^Eb down that ^Bb dark ^Eb highway
^Ab Headlight ^Eb blind driv ^Bb ing craz ^Eb y
^Ab If my ^Eb wheels keep ^Bb turning
^Bb Gonna roll that white line ^Eb away
All the ^Cm nights you spent ^Ab alone
All the ^Eb love I'd never s ^Bb hown
All the ^Cm words I could not ^Ab say
Till that ^Eb white line took you ^Bb away
^Ab White l ^Eb ine t ^Bb ook you aw ^Eb ay ^F
F I'll follow this white ^Bb line down ^F where it's w ^C inding
Cause somewhere up ahead your light's still s ^F hining
^F The sound of the ^Bb silver ^F strings ^C will guide me
I've stood and watched the bridges burn
I'm past the point of no return
Oh how I wish that you were here bes ^F ide me
^Bb White ^F line ^C took my b ^F aby
^Bb Led him ^F down that ^C dark hig ^F hway
^Bb Headlight ^F blind dr ^C iving cra ^F zy
^Bb If my ^F wheels keep ^C turning
^C Gonna roll that white line ^F away
^Bb White ^F line ^C took my b ^F aby
^Bb Led him ^F down that ^C dark hig ^F hway
^Bb Headlight ^F blind dr ^C iving cra ^F zy
^Bb If my ^F wheels keep ^C turning
^C Gonna roll that white line ^F away
