Life is a Highway
Key: BbEasyTom Cochrane
BbLife's like a road that you travel on when there's Fone day here and the next day gone
SomeCtimes you bend some times you stand someCtimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a Bbworld outside every darkened door where Fblues won't haunt you anymore
Where the Cbrave are free and lovers soar come Cride with me to the distant shore
DmWe won't hesitate Cbreak down the garden gate Bbthere's not much time left toGday
DmLIfe Cis a Bbhighway, BbI Amwant to Fride it Bball Fnight Clong Bb F C
If Dmyou're Cgoing Bbmy way, BbI Amwant to Fdrive it Bball Fnight Clong Bb F C
Through Bball these cities and all these towns it's Fin my blood and it's all around
I Clove you now like I loved you then this Cis the road and these are the hands
From BbMozambique to those Memphis nights, the FKhyber Pass to Vancouvers lights
CKnock me down get back up again you're Cin my blood I'm not a lonely man
DmThere's no load I can't hold, Croad so rough this I know
BbI'll be there when the light comes in, Gtell 'em we're survivors
GmThere was a Bbdistance between Dmyou and IC
GmA misunderstanding Bbonce but Dmnow we look it in the Ceye
DmThere's no load I can't hold, Croad so rough this I know
BbI'll be there when the light comes in, Gtell 'em we're survivors
First time just vocals, drums, bass

All chord names and shapes are relative to position of capo.
Real chord names are in square brackets below.
Not really too sure about this one....use it as a guide.
Nearly all the chords in this song are piano, so its pretty tough to get
all of them exactly on guitar.
