Well I'm leavin' this mornin', baby, ridin' that new highway
          C7                                                G7
Yeah, I'm leavin' this mornin', baby, ridin' that new high- way
        D7               C7                         G7

Well a rich man's got money, and a poor man's only got his soul
           C7                                               G7
Yeah, rich man's got the money, baby, poor boy only got his soul
               D7                C7                 G7
But I got this new highway and I don't care where I go
