Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
think the guitar part sounds better with chords played one whole step lower with a CAPO
on the 2nd fret, but these open chords will match the song and the bass part. For the
bass part,
one dash equals one eighth note.

[VERSE]
They made up
their minds
And they s
tarted packing
And left bef
ore the sun cB
me up that day
An exit to e
ternal summer
slacking
But where we
re they going
without ever k
nowing the way
?

[VERSE]
They drank u
p the wine
And they go
t to talking
But now had
more important
things to say
And when the
car broke dow
n they started
walking
But where we
re they going
without ever k
nowing the way
?

You can see
their shadows
wandering off

They won't m

don't care
They wanted
the highway T
hey're happier
there today
Today...
