[Intro]

C G C F C G C F

[Verse]

C                       G
I had to stop and catch my breath
         C                     F
When the telephone rang out as loud as death
       C                    G
It was three in the morning
            C                       F
There was a low drone of katydids behind your voice

[Chorus]

      C    Em   Bb                      F
And I came down from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
      C       G              C G
And I saw you by the highway

[Verse]

C                   G
You asked me if the north was alright
      C                        F
And I said that it got kind of cold at night
        C               G
I could feel your bones shivering
C                 F
Way down there in Birmingham

[Chorus]

      C    Em   Bb                      F
And I came down from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
      C       G              C G C F C G C F
And I saw you by the highway

[Verse]

C                                       G
You reminded me of all the things you'd given up forever
        C                                F
And you asked about the children and you asked about the weather

[Chorus]

      C    Em   Bb                      F
And I came down from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
      C       G              C G C F C G C F C
And I saw you by the highway
