Highway Chile
Jimi Hendrix / the Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967)
| Em |
| Yeah! His guitar slung across his back, |
| His dusty boots is his cadillac. | |
| A flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind | |
| ain't seen a bed in so long, it's a sin. | |
| C7/9 |
| He left home when he was seventeen, |
| The rest of the world he was gonna see. | |
| Em |
| And everybody knows the boss, |
| a rollin' stone gathers no moss. | |
| G |
| Now you'd probably call him a tramp, |
| A |
| But it goes a little deeper than that. |

| Em |
| Now some people say he had a girl back home |
| who messed around and did her baby wrong. | |
| They tell me it kinda hurt him bad, | |
| Kinda made him feel pretty sad. | |
| C7/9 |
| I couldn't say what went through his mind, |
| Anyway he left the world behind. | |
| Em |
| Well, 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. |
