[Verse]
    D7
I got the key to the highway; I'm booked out and bound to go,
D7        A         E         A     G        F   E
I'm gonna leave here running; ain't coming back no more
 
E         A           E       D                D7
I'm going back to the border; where I'm better known
D7        A             E        A      G    F#   F   E
I'm gonna ride this old highway; ain't coming back no more
 
E       A        E     D                  D7
Give me one more kiss; mama just before I go,
D7        A          E        A     G        F   E
I'm gonna leave here running; ain’t coming back no more
 
E             A                   E
Now, when the moon peeks over the mountain
D                             D7
Yeah.. You know I'll be on my way
D7        A                   E        A            F#       F
I'm gonna walk, walk this ol' highway, deep until the break of day
 
E  A             E    D                      D7
So long and good-bye, yes, I had to say good-bye,
D7               A                   E        A           F#  F  E
'Cause I'm gonna walk, walk this ol' highway, deep 'til the day I die

Sorry, I can’t follow this. The chords don’t seem to line up.

Good start, one major mistake. The end of the progression (last 2 bars) should be A-D-Dm-A-E7. so the last 8 beats, expanded out: A-A-D-Dm-A-A-E7-E7 hope this helps everyone.

Agree. Does not track. Its basic 1,5,4 in A. Can't follow this.
