D             A            F#               Bm A
Pickin up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream,
  G              D               Asus4 A
I wonder how the old folks are tonight?
    D                 A                 F#           Bm
Her name was Ann, and I'll be damned if I recall her face;
G               A               D
She left me not knowing what to do.
 
D        C       G        A            D
Carefree highway,  let me slip away on you
         C       G             A
Carefree highway,  you've seen better days
    Bm            A              G         D     E
The morning after blues, from my head down to my shoes
D         C       G        A                       D
 Carefree highway,  let me slip away, slip away on you
 
C  G  A  D  C  G   Asus4 A
 
D                A            F#           Bm A
Turning back the pages to the times I love best
  G                D           Asus4 A
I wonder if she'll ever do the same?
        D                 A              F#         Bm
Now the thing that I call living is just being satisfied,
     G             A              D
With knowing I got no one left to blame
 
D        C       G        A            D
Carefree highway,  let me slip away on you
         C       G             A
Carefree highway,  you've seen better days
    Bm            A              G         D     E
The morning after blues, from my head down to my shoes
D         C       G        A                       D
 Carefree highway,  let me slip away, slip away on you

D                  A               F#              Bm A
Searching thru the fragments of my dream shattered sleep;
  G             D                     Asus4 A
I wonder if the years have closed her mind?
       D                A              F#            Bm
Well I guess it must be wander lust or trying to get free,
G                 A                        D
From the good old faithful feeling we once knew
 
D        C       G        A            D
Carefree highway,  let me slip away on you
         C       G             A
Carefree highway,  you've seen better days
    Bm            A              G         D     E
The morning after blues, from my head down to my shoes
D         C       G        A                       D
 Carefree highway,  let me slip away, slip away on you
       A            D
Let me slip away on you
 
         C       G          A              D
Carefree highway   I got to see you my old flame
         C       G             A
Carefree highway,  you've seen better days
    Bm            A              G         D     E
The morning after blues, from my head down to my shoes
D         C       G        A                       D
 Carefree highway,  let me slip away, slip away on you
