***CAPO 4 
   G                                C                    G 
I once had a darling, was kind, true and sweet. 
G                                                         D 
Life was so bright and gay, everything to please. 
   G                          C                 G 
I fell for another, who led my life astray. 
               G                    D                 G   
And now I live in sorrow, 'till my dying day 
Chorus: 
            G                               C              G   
Down a Highway of Sorrow, I'm traveling along. 
       G                                                       D 
I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home. 
       G                                   C                   G 
I'm headed for destruction, I'm on the wrong track. 
             G                                     D              G 
Down a Highway of Sorrow, there's no turning back. 
   G                                C                    G 
I went back to my darling, and I got down on my knees. 
G                                                         D 
I begged here with tears and eyes, to give my poor heart ease. 
   G                          C                 G 
But she was hurt so deeply, she could not forgive. 
               G                    D                 G   
Now I live in sorrow, as long as I live
