Note: I have a strong feeling that both acoustic & electric guitars is
not Standard Tuning or maybe only the acoustic guitar. But anyway
if you think it is other tunings then do so & change the chords
notation given below. So that it will sound almost the same.
Standard Tuning: EADGbe
Chords Used:
e| Cmaj0 Fmaj1 Gmaj3 A70
b| 1 1 3 2
G| 0 2 0 0
D| 2 3 0 2
A| 3 3 2 0
E| 0 1 3 X
Note: Verse 1 & Verse 2 don't really have lots of guitaring but anyway
here is the chords.
Verse 1:
CmajI'm a rollin' stone all alone and Fmajlost,
For a life of Gmajsin I have paid the A7cost,
As FmajI walk by all the people Gmajsay,
Just another A7guy on the lost Fmajhighway,Cmaj
Verse 2:
CmajJust a deck of cards and a jug of Fmajwine,
And a woman's Gmajlife makes a life like A7mine,
On Fmajthe day we met, I went aGmajstray,
I started A7going down that lost Fmajhighway,Cmaj
Note: You just got to listen to the song to understand this part. This
is a acoustic part done by Chris while Jonny is on the electric
in the 3rd & 4th verse. For those who don't know, p is pull off
or drag to another barr in 1 strike, h is hammer or hit your
finger on 1 barr with 1 finger on the lower barr in 1 strike, r
is release your finger on a higher barr with another finger on
the lower barr in 1 strike. So below you'll see that I've mixed
in both plucking & struming into a tab chart.

Verse 3:

I started A7going down that lost Fmajhighway,Cmaj
Verse 4:
CmajNow boys don't start to ramblin' Fmajround,
On this road of Gmajsin are you sorrow boA7und,
Take Fmajmy advice or you'll curse the Gmajday,
You started A7rollin' down that lost Fmajhighway,Cmaj
You started A7goin' down that lost Fmajhighway,Cmaj
Goin' A7down that lost Fmajhighway,Cmaj
Goin' A7down that lost Fmajhighway,Cmaj
Note: I guess everything is not lost here, maybe for the instrumental
part I might miss some stuff there cause I can't trace every
single thing that Chris do. So enjoy the song!
