{ci: Verse 1}
[Dm]Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
[F]Goin' some place, there's no [Fsus2]goin' [C]back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
[Dm]Hot soup on a campfire [C]under the [Dm]bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
[F]Welcome to the [Fsus2]new world [C]order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
[Dm]No home, no job, no [C]peace, no [Dm]rest

{ci: Chorus}
[Bb]The highway is alive tonight
[F]But nobody's kiddin' nobody a-[C]bout where it [Dm]goes
[C]I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
[Dm]Searchin' for the [C]ghost of [Dm]Tom Joad

{ci: Verse 2}
[Dm]He pulls a prayer book out of his sleepin' bag
[F]Preacher lights up a butt and [Fsus2]takes a [C]drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
[Dm]In a cardboard box 'neath the [C]under[Dm]pass
Got a one way ticket to the promised land
[F]You got a hole in your belly and a [Fsus2]gun in your [C]hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
[Dm]Bathing in the city [C]aque[Dm]duct

{ci: Chorus}
[Bb]The highway is alive tonight
[F]Where it's headed every-[C]body [Dm]knows
[C]I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
[Dm]Waitin' on the [C]ghost of [Dm]Tom Joad

{ci: Verse 3}
[Dm]Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
[F]Wherever a hungry new-[Fsus2]born baby [C]cries
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
[Dm]Look for me mom [C]I'll be [Dm]there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
[F]Or a decent job or a [Fsus2]helpin' [C]hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
[Dm]Look in their eyes, mom, [C]you'll see [Dm]me"

[Bb]The highway is alive tonight
[F]But nobody's kiddin' nobody a-[C]bout where it [Dm]goes
[C]I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
[Dm]Waitin' for the [C]ghost of old [Dm]Tom Joad
