Caroline Herring - Delta Highway
CAPO: 2nd Fret
I was on a Delta Ghighway
Twilight rising froAmm the road
Lightning shone oDn cotton fields
I drove through pink skies aGlone
Went to Lourdes and Santiago
Traveled down to New OrAmleans
Between pilgrims and les Dbon temps
                                G~ ~ 
Live the visions and the dreams
CHORUS:
CAll this Amsearching Dleads down such winding Groads
Funny how the Atime goes D  
So far away from Ghome
Climbed the Yellow Mountain
Held the sun in my Amhand
Worshipped the Dwarriors
In tombs of ancient Glands
Did not reach to the leper
Though she gave me a Amsmile
I just played this old Dguitar
                           G~ ~ 
Amidst a 1000 Chinese eyes
CHORUS:
CAll this Amsearching Dleads down such winding Groads
Funny how the Ammind goes D  
So far away from Ghome
INSTRUMENTAL:  G~ ~ ~  Am    D     G    Am    D    G~ ~ ~  Am    D     G    Am    D    G  Am  
Maybe Don the midland Gprairies
We could trace familiar Amtears
Or wander through the Ddesert
In hopes of Tunis or AlGgiers
And may the Moors next enchant me
Tall, dark friend I have Amknown
But when on the Delta Dhighway
                                G~ ~ 
I’ll think of you and you alone
CHORUS:
CAll this Amsearching Dleads down such winding Groads
Funny how the Ammind goes D  
So far away from Ghome
CHORUS:
CAll this Amsearching Dleads down such winding Groads
Funny how the Ammind goes D  
So far away from Ghome

Caroline Herring - Delta Highway

CAPO: 2nd Fret

I was on a Delta highway

Twilight rising from the road

Lightning shone on cotton fields

I drove through pink skies alone

Went to Lourdes and Santiago

Traveled down to New Orleans

Between pilgrims and les bon temps

~ ~

Live the visions and the dreams

CHORUS:

C Am D G

All this searching leads down such winding roads

A D

Funny how the time goes

So far away from home

Climbed the Yellow Mountain

Held the sun in my hand

Worshipped the warriors

In tombs of ancient lands

Did not reach to the leper

Though she gave me a smile

I just played this old guitar

~ ~

Amidst a 1000 Chinese eyes

CHORUS:

C Am D G

All this searching leads down such winding roads

Am D

Funny how the mind goes

So far away from home

G Am D G Am D G Am D G Am D G Am

INSTRUMENTAL: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

D G

Maybe on the midland prairies

We could trace familiar tears

Or wander through the desert

In hopes of Tunis or Algiers

And may the Moors next enchant me

Tall, dark friend I have known

But when on the Delta highway

~ ~

I’ll think of you and you alone

CHORUS:

C Am D G

All this searching leads down such winding roads

Am D

Funny how the mind goes

So far away from home

CHORUS:

C Am D G

All this searching leads down such winding roads

Am D

Funny how the mind goes

So far away from home
