A Last night I was out driving, E Esus4 E Coming home at the end of the working day A I was riding alone through the drizzling rain, D On a deserted stretch of a county two-lane, A E A Asus4 A When I came upon a wreck on the highway Now there was blood and glass all over And there was nobody there but me As the rain tumbled down hard and cold I seen a young man lying by the side of the road He cried, "Mister, won't you help me please?" An ambulance finally came and took him to Riverside I watched as they drove him away And I thought of a girlfriend or a young wife And a state trooper knocking in the middle of the night To say your baby died in a wreck on the highway Sometimes I sit up in the darkness And I watch my baby as she sleeps Then I climb in bed and I hold her tight I just lay there awake in the middle of the night Thinking 'bout the wreck on the highway (Oh) | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA Asus4 D E Esus4 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
