The Way
This is essentially the same tab submitted earlier so I can't take any credit. It is,
however, tabbed for putting a capo on the second fret. This makes it sound better
since you don't have to use a bar chord. It's easier as well. Enjoy!
[Verse]
Em
They made up their minds
Am
And they started packing
B7 Em
They left before the sun came up that day
E7 Am
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Em B7
But where were they going without ever
Em
Knowing the way?
Em
They drank up the wine
Am
And they got to talking
B7 Em
They now had more important things to say
E7 Am
When the car broke down they started walking
Em B7
Where were they going without ever
Em D
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
D G
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
D
Is paved with gold
Em
It's always summer
B7
They'll never get cold
C
They'll never get hungry
G D
They'll never get old and grey
G D
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Em
They won't make it home
B7
But they really don't care
C
They wanted the highway
G D B7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
Em
Their children woke up
Am
And they couldn't find them
B7 Em
They left before the sun came up that day
E7 Am
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
Em B7
But where were they going without ever
Em D
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
D G
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
D
Is paved with gold
Em
It's always summer
B7
They'll never get cold
C
They'll never get hungry
G D
They'll never get old and grey
G D
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Em
They won't make it home
B7
But they really don't care
C
They wanted the highway
G D B7
They're happier there today
[Solo 1]
Em Am Em B7 Em
[Chorus]
D G
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
D
Is paved with gold
Em
It's always summer
B7
They'll never get cold
C
They'll never get hungry
G D
They'll never get old and grey
G D
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Em
They won't make it home
B7
But they really don't care
C
They wanted the highway
G D B7
They're happier there today

sounds right, but the lyric is "without EVER knowing the way" not "even"

OMG! you know this song is based on a true story? this old couple and she had alzheimers and he was recovering from brain surgery, got in a car, drove to a festival and kept on driving. This guy wrote the song, then he found out they were found like crashed in a ditch 3km away. SO SAD (love the song tho)
