Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I once had a darling, was kind, true and sweet.

 Life was so bright and gay, everything to please.

 I fell for another, who led my life astray.

 And now I live in sorrow, ?till my dying day

Chorus

 Down a Highway of Sorrow, I?m traveling along.

 I?ve lost all my true friends, I?ve lost a happy home.

 I?m headed for destruction, I?m on the wrong track.

 Down a Highway of Sorrow, there?s no turning back.

I went back to my darling, and I got down on my knees.

I begged here with tears and eyes, to give my poor heart ease.

But she was hurt so deeply, she could not forgive.

Now I live in sorrow, as long as I live
