[Verse 1]
Gulf Coast [D]Highway
He [G]worked the [D]rails
He worked the rice fields
With their cool dark [G]wells
He [Bm]worked the oil rigs in the
[A]Gulf of Mexico

[Verse 2]
[D]The only thi[G]ng we've ever own[D]ed
Is this [A]old house here by the [D]road
And when he [Bm]dies he says he'll catch
[A]Some blackbird's [D]wing
Then he will [G]fly away to Heav

[Verse 3]
[A]en come
Some sweet blue bonnet [D]spring
She [G]walked [D]through springtime
When [G]I w[D]as home
The [G]days were sweet

[Verse 4]
[D]
The nights were [G]warm
The seasons [Bm]change, the jobs would
[A]Come, the flowers [D]fade
This old [G]house felt so alone

[Verse 5]
[D]
When the [A]work took me [D]away
And when she [Bm]dies she says, she'll
Catch [A]some blackbirds [D]wing
Then she will [G]fly away to Heav[D]en come
Some sweet [A]blue bonnet [D]spring

[Verse 6]
[D]Highway 90
The [G]jobs are [D]gone
We tend our garden
We set the sun
[G]This is the onl[Bm]y place on ear[A]th
Blue bonnets [D]grow
Once a [G]year they come and [D]go
At this old house [A]here by the [D]road

[Verse 7]
And when we [Bm]die we say, we'll
Catch [A]some blackbirds [D]wing
Then we will [G]fly away to Heav
[D]en come
Some sweet [A]blue bonnet [D]spring

[Verse 8]
And when we [Bm]die we say, we'll
Catch [A]some blackbirds [D]wing
We will [G]fly away to[D]gether come
Some sweet [A]blue bonnet [D]spring
