Highway of Light

 

Written by John Stewart

 

‘Highway of Light’ is one of those hypnotic Stewart songs.  From “Johnny Moonlight”, Neon Dreams, 2000, also on the live double CD “Front Row Music – Before the War”, Neon Dreams, 2001.  Not difficult to learn and play.

 

 

(D)   (G) (D)   (A7) (D)

Run to the cross(D/C)roads,

To the (G)bright shining (D/F#)crossroads,

(G)Follow the spar(D/F#)row

To the (Em)highway of (A7)light.

Oh, and (D)run to the cross(D/F#)roads,

The (G)bright shining cross(D/F#)roads,

The (G)children will (F#m)lead you

To the (G)high(D)way (A7)of (D)light.

 

And those who are (D/C)weary,

(G)Run to the (D/F#)crossroads

And (G)follow the spar(D/F#)row

To the (Em)highway of (A7)light.

And (D)those who are (D/F#)weary,

You’ll (G)never be (D/F#)weary,

For the (G)children will (F#m)lead you

To the (G)high(D)way (A7)of (D)light.

 

And those are (D/C)troubled,

(G)Run to the (D/F#)crossroads,

(G)Follow the spar(D/F#)row

To the (Em)highway of (A7)light.

And (D)those who are (D/F#)troubled,

Your (G)angels are (D/F#)doubled

When you (G)follow the chil(F#m)dren

To the (G)high(D)way (A7)of (D)light.

 

And you run to the cross(D/C)roads,

The (G)bright shining (D/F#)crossroads,

(G)Follow the spar(D/F#)row

To the (Em)highway of (A7)light.

And (D)run to the cross(D/F#)roads,

The (G)bright shining cross(D/F#)roads,

The (G)children will (F#m)lead you

To the (G)high(D)way (A7)of (D)light.

 

And those with a sor(D/C)row,

(G)Run to the (D/F#)crossroads,

(G)Follow the spar(D/F#)row

To the (Em)highway of (A7)light.

And those with a sor(D/F#)row,

(G)Shinin’ to(D/F#)morrow,

And the (G)children will (F#m)lead you

To the (G)high(D)way (A7)of (D)light.

 

And you run to the cross(D/C)roads,

To the (G)bright shining (D/F#)crossroads,

(G)Follow the spar(D/F#)row

To the (Em)highway of (A7)light.

And you (D)run to the cross(D/F#)roads,

The (G)bright shining cross(D/F#)roads,

For the (G)children will (F#m)lead you

To the (G)high(D)way (A7)of (D)light.

 

And you run to the cross(D/C)roads,

To the (G)bright shining (D/F#)crossroads,

And you (G)follow the spar(D/F#)row

To the (Em)highway of (A7)light.

And you (D)run to the cross(D/F#)roads,

The (G)bright shining cross(D/F#)roads,

For the (G)children will (F#m)lead you

To the (G)high(D)way (A7)of (D)light.
