King Of The Highway Chords

Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

GThere’s a coal minin’ town

Where the sun never sleeps

EmIt’s cold in Alaska

Her tears freeze to her cheeks

 And there’s an old man Cthat loves her

 He’s comin’ home, life or death. G

GTwo months drug by

Since the day he first left

EmHe can still hear goodbye

He can still see her breath

 In that craCcked sideview mirror

 That he swore he’d fix last time G

GThirty miles from home

Dogs bark and red lights flash

EmI love Marie, still tattooed on the dash

 Of that jackCknifed freightliner,

 Phone rings, 2 AM G

Chorus

DHail to you, you’reC the king of the highway now x 2 G

GThat frozen hell it took him

And he ain’t coming back

EmBut her memory’s still thick

Like this ice that never cracks

 It’s damn cold Cin Alaska

 And that sun never sleeps G

GShe’s got his old CB box

She yells - “breaker, breaker 10”

EmWon’t you honk if you see the ghost of that truck drivin’ man

 And please tell hCim that I love him, and tell him this G

Chorus
